Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Pedra do Sal is recognised for its combination of sand and rock along a coast 300 metres long and 30 metres wide. The golden-sand beach is linked to a mountainous frontage and a semi-urban setting with vegetation, integrated into the Natura 2000 Network. Its seafront promenade accompanies a landscape in which the rocky surface forms part of the beach’s identity. It can be easily reached on foot or by car; parking provides fewer than 50 spaces and there is an interurban service 0.5 kilometres away.
