Barril Beach

One of the most emblematic beaches in the municipality located in front of the tourist village of Pedras d’El Rei. It is made up of an extensive beach, which can be accessed on foot or through by tourist train. Located on the same beach, there is the old Armação de Atum that dates back to 1842. Its state of conservation is very good, and the space has been converted into a commercial area. Next to Armação is the famous “Cemitério das Âncoras”, a visit poster for this beach.
