Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia

These are two small beaches separated by a rock that, at low tide, join and become a single beach. On the left corner is the Gruta do Amor, a rock formation surrounded by a legend: couples who kiss there would stay in love forever. Near the grotto there used to be a large dune, used for sandboarding and sand sliding, which one visitor remembers last seeing in 2005. Swimming with mask and snorkel near the rocks, you can see a great variety of marine species. The beach is also described as an excellent spot for night diving.
