It is one of the best places in Portugal to practice water sports, such as surfing and windsurfing, where many national and international competitions take place frequently. Guincho beach has various facilities such as showers, access for people with reduced mobility, free parking, help desk, surf schools, etc. Magnificent restaurants and several bars make up the surrounding area.
Beach breaks are very popular and suitable for young people, children and their families. At certain times of the year there can be a lot of surfers on the weekends, and the waves can often be perfect for surfing and windsurfing. The sand is soft and pleasant and some rocks in the middle of the beach and next to the sea give it a special and unique touch, which is much appreciated.
The majestic waves appear in the best directions and sometimes grow from the Southwest, South/Southwest, South, Southeast and winds from the East and South. The best waves appear from 1 meter and can reach more than 3 meters. However, there are always waves at all tides and almost all year round.
