A popular beach, with steep steps, on the road to Ponta da Piedade, about 2km from the town centre. It is flanked by cliffs and because it faces east, the sand here is nicely sheltered from the wind. There are other smaller beaches off the road between Dona Ana and Ponta da Piedade (towards the lighthouse) also worth exploring. Cliffs here can be dangerous and are often without safety barriers, so be carefull with small children.
