This
beach can be reached on foot from the Quinta and is about
half an hour's hard walking. For those less energetic and
with a suitable vehicle, there is a nearby cliff top where
you can leave your car. From
the Quinta, take the beach road past Praia dos Caneiros and
continue 1 km up the hill towards Carvoeiro. At the top of
the hill, take the first turning to the right on an unmade
dirt road. Keep bearing right towards the cliff tops in the
direction of Ferragudo. At the top of the cliffs, you will
find an old steel marker post about 2.5 meters high, 30 cm
in diameter, originally painted red and white many years ago.
From this post, walk 50 paces to the west, turn and look back
at the post and you will see the entry to the cliff path.
If, having seen the height, you feel confident, proceed very
carefully down the path, which is a dried out gully, and after
100 meters or so you will find a rope descent for the last
10 meters to the sand. This beach is not normally crowded.
