Praia do Vau – our neighborhood beach

Praia do Vau

This is the closest beach to us, a small and beautiful corner of the world, connected with the rest of the gold sandy beaches of the Praia da Rocha stretch of the south coast.

‘Vau’ meaning ‘reef’, ‘small valley’, ‘small passage or shallow’. The clay found on this beach is thought to have beneficial properties for the skin.
