This coastline developed through natural erosion over centuries, shaping a complex system of dunes and cliffs. Wave and wind action continues to gradually reshape the beach.
The beach draws surfers year-round who come to practice in the waves. This spot has become a natural gathering place for the local surfing community.
The beach has lifeguard coverage during summer months, making swimming safer when they are on duty. Visitors should follow local rules and adjust their equipment to the conditions.
The cliffs beside the beach serve as a launch point for paragliders who use the coastal air currents. The dark slate rock of the cliffs inspired their name, Cabo Negro.
