Is Praia do Molhe worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Absolutely! This charming beach seduced us with its particular configuration, revealing the Rivi\u00e8re Arade on one side and the ocean on the other. Even in the heat, the sea breeze makes for a pleasant stroll along the seawall. During our visit, we observed several experienced surfers lying on their boards, watching for the perfect wave on the ocean side. In our opinion, this is one of Portim\u00e3o’s most beautiful beaches!<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Swimming conditions and supervision<\/h3>\n\n

Due to the particular configuration of this beach at the mouth of the Rivi\u00e8re Arade, bathing conditions call for a certain amount of caution. We found that experienced surfers frequent this beach on the ocean side, indicating the presence of potentially strong waves. Access to the water requires descending a steep staircase from the top of the cliffs. The beach is not supervised.<\/p>\n\n

Installations<\/h3>\n\n

We didn’t see any showers or toilets on the beach. It retains its natural, untamed character, with no on-site facilities. It’s a good idea to pack everything you’ll need for your visit.<\/p>\n\n
