this beach overlooking the nearby islands, peaks, and glowing waves has been, and continues to be, a muse to countless artists, singers, poets, and composers.

public concerts ranging from classical to rock are common events on this beach, famous artists such as the black eyed peas and 14 bis have performed gratis shows on these sands.

on sundays and holidays, the avenue along the calçadão is close to traffic, making of the sea side a car-free zone, and so expanding the promenade and allowing for bikers, skaters, street entertainers, vendors, and joggers to take full advantage of the beachfront.
