Azenhas do Mar is located in a picturesque valley with white houses perched on the Northern Slope.
An ocean pool has been built as the sand was nearly completely submersed during the high tides.
It is a quite popular spot all year long due to the spectacular sceneries offered by the place.

Praia das Maçãs is pictoresque village with a beach that is popular in summer. The beach covers a considerable area with space for differing sporting activities. The sea, with its strong waves, gives good surfing conditions.

Praia Grande is known as one of the best Portuguese beaches for water sports, such as bodyboard and surf. It hosts every year European and World Championships competitions both of bodyboard and surf.
On the surrounding cliffs one can find dinosaurs footprints and pedestrian tracks enjoying beautiful sceneries
