One of the best beach restaurants in the Algarve. It looks like a no frills beach cabana but is full of politicians and jetsets. Expect at least €50/person. Choose from the fresh fish on display. Tiger prawns are amazing!

Great beach for kids (the sand is noy very inclined), especially during low tide when there are loads of puddles to play in. Gets very busy in high season (July-August) but is fine otherwise.
