This is the main bathing center in Lagoa. Today it continues to be a fishermen's beach, access to which has been redeveloped. Thus, walking along the streets and alleys with restricted car access, heading towards the sea, the beach appears, close to the commercial area.

To get to know this part of the coast better, we suggest renting a boat that will take bathers to see the caves.
