Praia da Meco

 

This beach is about 15 km long, and there is always enough space for everybody.  It´s only 7 min from our house by car. There's a special mud, that is said to posess healing powers. You often meet people, covered all over with this brown or green mud.

Praia California

 

This little town is well known for its delicious fish restaurants and its beautiful beach. The colour of the water changes between green and blue. You can reach it by bus within 10 min from our Quinta Arcadia. The beach is ideal for families, because the water is very shallow, and there are seldom any high waves.
