Praia de Vale Centianes

The golden sand beach stretches between steep limestone cliffs, featuring a central area with fine gullies and natural grooves shaped by water erosion.

The continuous erosion of the cliffs by ocean waves and rain over thousands of years has created multiple caves and natural grottoes along the beach.

Local fishermen maintain their traditional presence at Vale Centianes, setting their nets during specific seasons to catch regional fish species.

The beach offers modern facilities including a restaurant, restrooms, and a ramp for accessibility, with lifeguard service available from June through September.

At low tide, visitors can explore a system of small caves on the western side while observing diverse marine life in the intertidal zones.
