Costa Vicentina · 37°57′N 8°52′W
Sines
A working port town at the top of the Costa Vicentina. Praia de São Torpes, about 6 km south, is a long sand beach with its best peaks by the jetty, sheltered from the summer north wind: easy for learners on small days, hollow on a solid swell. More exposed peaks run along the Costa Norte beach to the north.
