Praia da Tocha is a cute little beach town boasting of Portuguese tradition and culture. It remains one of the last places in the country where artisanal fishing is still practiced but is also known for its great surfing waves for beginners and advanced surfers. The wide beach is supervised during the summer months and has a lively vibe of little beachside restaurants, bars and shops. The town further hosts a surf and yoga school and has a newly built padel court and football pitch.

We highly recommend barbecue chicken from Churrasqueira São João (5 min walk by foot / Tel: +351 927 335 566) or Churrasqueira São João Zé dos Leitoes (10 min drive to Tocha / Tel: +351 967 267 171) It is a portuguese traditional dish – ask for extra spice 😊
