The beach is spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone, which is great if you want to avoid the crowded feeling of smaller beaches. One thing to keep in mind is the water temperature—it was extremely cold, only 17°C when we visited in early September, so swimming might not be ideal unless you're accustomed to cold water. Besides that, there were a lot of seagulls flying around, and we noticed quite a few of their feathers floating in the water, which wasn't particularly pleasant. That said, I really enjoyed the beach itself. The sand was clean, and there are several useful amenities available, such as water points to rinse off and some equipment that you can borrow or use during your stay. These small conveniences really add to the overall experience. Despite the cold water and the presence of birds, it's a lovely place to relax, take a walk, or simply enjoy the sun. The wide-open space and the availability of amenities make it an appealing spot, even if you're not keen on swimming.

This is our favorite beach ⛱️ ! It's a great place to walk early morning / late evening. There are places to have drinks and clean bathrooms! The beach always have some form of activities ( volleyball, football, tennis) and people are always friendly! The beach have several ramps and my boyfriend with a wheelchair ♿️ can come with me to the sand! And we love it! We are from England and it's 100% better at carcavelos than UK beaches. Wish sometimes that the ramp could stretch a bit closer to the water, but that's something minimal compare to how amazing accessibility 👨‍🦽 it is for people with minimum ability. We very happy for who ever made this great work. We would love to find out more and make Portugal more accessible 🤩 We come down to this beach almost every other day for 1 months now.

The beach is a good a one, but the services are not too good. There is no public changing room here, only a public toalett. The public shower is only at your hip length so you can wash your feet, not really a real shower and it is far away from the water on a concrete stand, so you have to cross the whole sandy beach to reach it and then walk back wet on the sand to your camping place. The rent for the sunbeds are not straightforward where to pay for it.

The beach is windy, so a good...
