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 bluest of skies, the finest of sand, the turquoise blue waters, and stunning views everywhere. This is a great place to hang out and enjoy Mother Nature.
What a wonderful place!

A bit more open to the sea, the stream here is really powerful. After the lighthouse, there are a lot of rocks on the beach, so not the best place to swim, but great for a sunset!

Lovely bay and views here. Sea was fresh but beautiful and the cafe and rock area were great! Good afternoon out.

Praia do Farol is more of a riverside beach where the ocean and Mira River join forces. There is a lovely stretch of sand on the north side of the river which morphs to rocky tables reaching out to the sea. Just a short walk from the town the beach is a great place to spend an afternoon recuperating from sightseeing. If you take the ferry across the river to the south side you can lounge oceanside on Praia das Furnas. Worth a stop simply to drink in the views.

What an amazing place. Piece of heaven. It's a surprise to see a beach like this. Full of art and heart. The stones are in perfect balance between them and also give that balance to us! It's an amazing experience even without going to the water!

The water is cold! But lovely for a dip if you are a confident swimmer. The sand is so fine, it’s great. It was windy so a parasol and wind breaker are useful.

We stopped here for a resting point on our way to Lisbon. Most beaches on west coast are high waves and strong current and this beach also offers calm and shallow water for swimming for families with babies.

Beautiful beach, free parking nearby. Shallow water in many places, very clean. There are areas bordered by buoys for safe bathing.
