Praia Formosa Beach

Praia Formosa Beach

A 10-minute drive outside the city centre, this quiet stretch of coastline has three black-sand beaches and a larger pebbled beach. Take a walk along the promenade or relax on the shoreline - there are plenty of cafes with terraces to sit at during the day, and the beach bars make it a popular nightlife spot.
