Praia Mole
A bay ringed by green hills, popular with young people and surfers, and a takeoff point for paragliding.
Located between the lagoon and Barra da Lagoa, the beach takes its name from mole, meaning “soft,” as its sand is relatively coarse. Its good waves make it a popular spot for surfing, beach volleyball and socializing, and the beach bars have a relaxed vibe. The hill on the north side is a paragliding takeoff point, where you can book a tandem flight to see the coast from above. A walking trail leads to the neighboring natural beach of Galheta. Parking is limited, so arrive early in summer.
