Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The beach is nice, but now that big. Although you can walk to other beaches (but be careful). The sand is a little bit big corny and in the water you sink fast with your feet in it (Not alarming though). The water goes deep pretty fast.

One of the smallest Arrábida beaches, but easily one of the most beautiful! Less wind than in Figueirinha, less strong tides and less parking spots and a better beach bar is what you may expect here, apart from the beautiful landscape! Just lay back and enjoy!

A beautiful beach with clear water and lovely scenery. the water is cold in the summer but very chilling. The beach has a restaurant, bar and umbrellas and a shower for a price. With the rocky side of the beach and the moderate crowd, I would say one of the best in the world.

We parked at Figueirinha beach (road closed so couldn't go any further and walked to Galapos. It is only a 20 minute walk and was very pretty, better than getting the shuttle bus. Because of this logistic, the beach wasn't too busy. The beach is backed by rolling green hills, was very clean and the waters crystal clear. The beach restaurant however wasn't great (food average and quite pricy and the toilets and restaurant very shabby) and so I recommend taking a packed lunch.

Amazing beach , amazing clear water, amazing views , i hope people won't ruin it!
The only downside is that theres is no car park , you have to park on the side road , and walk but is definitely worth the walk !

We had a nice walk along the beach, which has a cafe and an old derelict villa, such a shame, it would be a lovely spot.

Para ir para as praia das galapos onde posso deixar o carro e apanhar o autocarro?
Written 18 July 2018
Bonn Soir, Phelpsia.
(Espagnol, ...) No hay autobús hasta la misma playa aunque quizás haya alguna parada cercana en la carretera que va a Sesimbra. En cualquier caso lo veo difícil.
Siempre sera mejor ir en coche, si puedes.
Un saludo
Luis
