Guincho Beach
It lies between the rocky outcrops: Ponta Alta and Ponta do Abano. With a huge expanse of sand, both in length and width, it is considered one of the largest beaches in the country with the highest number of bathers. It is characterized by a strong swell and strong winds and is one of the best beaches for extreme sports and windsurfing, where several international competitions are held.
Given the nature of the wind, one can observe the “Guincho-Cresmina” dune system in the southern part of the beach, which is highly dynamic from a geological point of view.

Safety: Beach lifeguard/flagged
