More about Ribeira Brava

In the last few years the beach area at Ribeira Brava has been developed with a large jetty stretching out to the sea and a pleasant promenade running parallel with the “new” man made sandy beach and a children’s swimming pool and paddling pool. There is plenty of space to sun bathe around the promenade and a snack bar to enjoy a cooling drink. The waves are generally not strong enough for surfing until the winter, when most head west to Paul Do Mar.
