Calada

This small and sheltered bay, which also forms part of Encarnação parish, stands out for its natural beauty, surrounded by tall and rocky cliffs. In spite of the rugged terrain, it has good road access and offers a spacious parking lot. It has modern beach facilities (which, in addition to changing rooms, toilet facilities and first aid station, also includes an appealing bar with an outdoor terrace), showers, access walkways, sports areas on the beach, beach umbrellas and sunbeds on hire. Its waves are quite sought after by surfers and bodyboarders. The beach is supervised by a lifeguard and the SOS Praia (Beach SOS) system.
