Beaches

Eleven favorite beaches of the people who live in Bombinhas, each with its own page — from secret coves to waves worth surfing.

The postcard

Praia de Bombinhas

The beach that gave the town its name, and that sums up in a single cove why so many people fall for this place.

Snorkeling

Praia da Sepultura

Small, sheltered and absurdly clear — probably the most photographed beach in Bombinhas.

Family

Praia de Bombas

The first beach you meet arriving in Bombinhas — wide, lively and with room to spare.

Surf

Quatro Ilhas

The beach old-timers still call Praia de Fora: a kilometre of sand, proper waves to the right, calm water to the left and four islands on the horizon.

Surf

Praia de Mariscal

Open ocean, quartz sand and a shoreline that carries on for kilometres — room to breathe in Bombinhas.

Fishing village

Canto Grande

Two beaches, two moods of sea, minutes apart — the peninsula where you get to pick your day.

Hideaway

Praia da Lagoinha

A tucked-away cove, clear and still, for anyone who wants the sea with no noise at all.

Fishing village

Praia de Zimbros

The west-facing cove where Bombinhas is still a fishing village — gentle sea, shellfish farms on the water and the best end of day on the peninsula.

Hidden cove

Praia do Ribeiro

The beach halfway between Bombas and the town centre — one that many people only discover by walking past it.

Nature

Praia da Tainha

At the southern tip of the peninsula, between forest and rocky headlands — the beach that asks for a dirt road or a trail, and pays you back in peace and quiet.

Surf and diving

Praia do Retiro dos Padres

A beach of rocks and forest at the end of Avenida das Garoupas, with a sea for diving and surfing — and one of the most curious stories in town.
