Tips

The marked spot is not on the beach, but up on the edge of the cliff. There used to be a staircase here that led down to the beach. However, like parts of the coast to the north and another stone staircase, this has since collapsed, so there is no longer a footpath along the top of the cliff from the town. The footpath mentioned below, over 300 metres from Praia Dona Ana to the south, no longer exists, or rather there is only a path that should no longer be used.
Instead, there is now a new elevated wooden path through the hilly landscape above the rocky coast and a new wooden staircase down to the beach at this point. Unfortunately, photos of this can only be found far back!

It is also possible (depending on the water level!) to get from the town (i.e. from the north) along the various beaches (Praia da Batata, Praia dos estudantes), through rock tunnels or around rocks (perhaps with a bit of wading through the water) down on the coast to Praia do Pinhão beach.

Small but wonderful bathing bay. Not as busy as the other, big beaches.

Praia do Pinhão is permanently closed. Quiet, secluded, picturesque bay with clear water and high orange cliffs.
