Tips

A wide, smooth boardwalk runs along the wide sandy beach of Vagueira, which is still used by fishermen. Here a few continue with their small scale fishing traditions, even if pulling in the fish-laden nets is now done by tractor rather than bull. Known as Xávega art, this technique of fishing dates back to the 19th century: small boats venture out into the waves to drop their nets; and local fishermen pull their nets back to land, with the help of many men and tractors. A tradition that is less and less practiced, but that should not be lost. Today the beach attracts large numbers of tourists during the peak summer season. A pontoon creates a windbreak effect. The choppy seas are good for surfers and not particularly dangerous, with a perfect western sunset exposure.

Beautiful beach! Many locals have a holiday apartment there. Outside of the main season, all shutters are lowered and not very busy
