About this beach

What to expect at Praia de Bombas

Bombas greets everyone coming into town, and has one of the widest, longest stretches of sand on the peninsula. Unlike the small coves tucked between headlands, here there's room to spare: you can walk a good distance, play football, run along the shoreline and still find a quiet corner.

The sea is gentle, with small waves most of the time — enough for the kids to have fun, without the punch of the open-ocean beaches. The waterfront is well served, with kiosks, guesthouses, restaurants and a beachfront road that comes alive in summer.

It's also one of the best places in town to watch the day end, with the sun dropping behind the hills and the sand. For anyone thinking about living here or investing, Bombas pairs established infrastructure with a neighborhood feel the more touristy beaches don't have.

Room to spare for walking, running and playing — even in high season.
