A beautiful open square with a large roundabout. From here, you can walk to Velha Beach or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the nearby restaurants. The Praia do Farol restaurant is highly recommended.

These traditional houses were used by the fishermen to store their fishing equipment and have also been used as beach houses over the years. The fishermen have built their houses directly behind the beach. With their facades painted in colorful stripes, they welcome the sea.
