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

Praia Grande is ideal for swimming, especially for families. In season, the beach is supervised and equipped with a first-aid post, enhancing visitor safety. The swimming area is clearly marked by buoys, and access to the water is gentle thanks to a gradual slope. The water is clear and pleasant, making it the perfect place to relax in peace and quiet. The beach has also been awarded the Bandera Azul 2024 label, a guarantee of environmental quality and services.<\/p>\n\n
