The peninsula is small, but every neighbourhood has its own pace. Choose by the kind of trip — and by the beach you want on your doorstep.
Published Updated
Centro or Bombas
Calm sea, shallow water and everything close by: supermarket, pharmacy and restaurants without taking the car out. Bombas has the longest stretch of sand in town; Centro has Praia de Bombinhas, the most sheltered.

Centro
The dive operators leave from Centro, and Praia da Sepultura — a natural pool between rocky headlands — is a few minutes' walk from the end of Rua das Garoupas.
Beaches for this profile
Lagoinha, Zimbros or Canto Grande
Small coves, the pace of a fishing village and silent nights. It's a little further from the bustle — which, here, is exactly the point.
Beaches for this profile
Mariscal or Quatro Ilhas
Open sea, waves, dunes and trails. Mariscal is the longest beach in town; Quatro Ilhas has surf on one side and calm water on the other.

Bombas or Centro
The neighbourhoods where almost everything is within walking distance and where the bus routes run. A good fit if you arrive by bus or transfer.

Questions
Centro and Bombas. Both have calm water that stays shallow for a good stretch and shops close to the beach, so you can do almost everything on foot.

Bombinhas is a peninsula with a single road in, and in high season the town charges a fee on vehicles from out of town. It applies to the whole town — not to any one beach. The beaches themselves stay public and free.
