Bombinhas

Bombinhas Beach lies between Morro do Macaco and Quatro Ilhas Beach, in the town that gives the beach its name, and is considered one of the most beautiful in the region because of its crystal-clear water and the view of the archipelago's islands. The bottom is sand and the beach divides neatly between a calmer part, with little swell and ideal for families, and another with bigger waves that attracts surfers, which makes it easy to share the space without competition.

In high season the crowds grow a lot, both on the sand and in the water, so anyone looking for a calmer session should avoid peak summer hours. The four islands visible from the sea, Galés, Arvoredo, Deserta and Macuco, give their name to neighboring Quatro Ilhas Beach and reinforce the area's privileged scenery. It's worth walking to the stretch reserved for surfers, away from the busier swimming area.
