    Mountain biking

    Miles of soft sandy beach stretch northeast and southwest from the little beach center, with a bar, equipment rental, and several dozen huge rusty anchors artistically arranged on the dune above the beach.

    Long sandy beach without car traffic, only accessible by a little train or on foot on the sea side of the barrier island.

    Anchor Cemetery / Cemiterio das Ancoras on Praia do Barril. There used to be a fishing community on the island that lived from tuna fishing. The buildings that are still on the island are now used as tourist facilities. The rusting anchors are intended to remind us of the former fishing community
