An Authentic Atlantic Dip

Beach

For a truly local experience, head to this public spot for a refreshing dip in the Atlantic. It’s a no-frills concrete lido with direct sea access via a ladder or steps, offering an authentic and invigorating swim. Be ready for a bit of a swell, which makes getting in and out part of the fun, just watch how the regulars do it! It's the perfect place to cool off and feel connected to the ocean, just a stone's throw from the main promenade.
