Additional Information
Park the car at 100m from the spot.There's a bar and a lifeguard (only during the Week end). The swell is very easy to enter execpt when the wind is W. The tide is very important and the waves become more powerfull when the tide rise (be carrefull).
Atmosphere
There're sand dunes promontories to watch the swell...beautifull place!
General
Even when we are 15 surfers there are enough waves for everybody. And the Locals are cool, not like in some spots where Locals think the waves belong to them...they belong to the one who can surf them!

Prai da Vagueira is a great beach!! - Praia da Vagueira is a wondeful beach!! The sand is clean and the water is beautiful. There are places to meet new people and places to go if you want to be alone. I highly recommend this beach. Every year i go to Portugal, and I'm at this beach every day!!
