Trancoso Beaches

Trancoso Beaches

Trancoso beaches are, to the north of the Trancoso River below the Quadrado: Praia dos Nativos, Rio da Barra and Taípe (site of Club Med and said to be part of Arraial d'Ajuda). South of the river, you'll find Coqueiros, Rio Verde, Ponta de Itapororoca and Itaquema. They're all beautiful; the south beaches have more beach bar options.

About eight miles south of the Quadrado, a gorgeous Discovery Coast beach deserves a stay for at least one night: Praia do Espelho.
