Cantinho Da Baia Guide

About Cantinho Da Baia

Praia do Baleal is a fantastically flexible, crescent shaped beach that curves towards the town. Cantinho Da Baia - 'corner of the bay' is an area that comes to life in a big northerly, or medium sized northwesterly swell and offers clean waves and winds from northeast to southeast direction. Long, sometimes hollow rights can peel here. Consistent and fun, popular with beginners when small.
