Hiking

As it is a wild beach and difficult to access, there is no support equipment of any kind or lifeguards. Don't forget to bring water and food, and when you return, make sure you take all your rubbish with you (there are bins near the car park, at the start of the trail)! If you prefer to stay in the shade, you will need to bring a parasol. Also note that the name of the beach is Praia do Ribeiro do Cavalo and not Praia da Ribeira do Cavalo, as it is often called.

Hiking

bit of a climb down to, but well worth it👍

Hiking

30 minutes of walking on a narrow path and then climbing - not without danger. Still, there are quite a few people here. The rocks in front of the beach are really worth seeing.
