Praia da Mata

Best to come during a weekday to avoid weekend crowds. Few parking at Praia Mata. Expansive beach great for super long walks. Restaurants along beach in case you're hungry. Easy to find using Google maps.

Beautiful beach. Wide and sandy. Big waves. Not that many people. To eat something you need to walk along the beach towards the town. Beautiful walk.

Super nice beach for surfing or relaxing with couple of beach bars and nice Sangria

Very nice staff, view and of course food ! Highly recommend

I never imagined Portugal had such beautiful beaches! Nice wind, hot sand, direct sunlight, but cold water. So relaxing and beautiful... convenient restaurant nearby of the same name.

Best place on Hearth 💖 clean sand, the blue water, the amazing Sunset 🌇, plus the restaurant was refurbished recently (June 2020). Great for family with children as the beach Water forms small lagoons. WC available, parking in summer is difficult specially in the morning. You can witness and help fishermen pulling the nets full of beautiful fish... Overall, you have to go to believe.

A much calmer vibe than the beaches closer to Costa centre. With lifeguards present between June 1st to Set 30th. Restaurant/Bar with drinks, food and a big carpark. Wide and long area with gold sand. Beautiful sea suitable for surf and other sports but also calm enough for young families.

Amazing beach. Exceptional view. A must visit

Wonderful beach, skies and colors. Pretty empty but maybe because it's winter ❄ Still a very beautiful place

Brilliant and spacious beach with lots of beach bars, great waves and surfers. Sea is active.

Wonderful place. Staff are so friendly food is amazing, I asked for the vegetarian stir fry to have some chicken added and they did it without a fuss and perfectly. Food was super fast too!

Clean beach for vans and naturists, perfect sunset - very calm during the night.

Nice beach, a lot of space. Plenty of surfers

A very nice place, easy to get there and back by Uber. You can rent sun beds for a whole day, drinks and food at the beach cafeteria.

Beautiful sandy beach, awesome wind and surf haven. Easy access

Really good food and great service!
Located right next to the beach, good music and the atmosphere is chill. It’s a good spot if you want a good quality meal with good prices:)
Definitely can recommend it!

Good Food and good Spirit 👊🏼

Nice beach and nice bar for cocktails! But the food is not as good as elsewhere in this area. The sun beds and umbrellas are charged 20€ a day.

Beautiful beach!
Amenities:
Parking is free and available. Toilets are free also. Restaurant is there and has delicious food (not pricey at all). The beach has also lifeguards.

Water is clear and waves are amazing.
I would ask everyone to clean up after themselves and pick up 1 piece or rubbish that you find that does not belong to you - as a thank you to this beautiful beach.

Has surf lessons here and first time surfing. Great beach and great waves!
