Praia de Moledo

Beaches

Maritime beach

A very famous tourist resort since the beginning of the 20th century, Moledo Beach brings in the families of politicians and other dignitaries who seek it out year after year in preference to the hotter sands of the south.

In an area of great natural beauty, surrounded by the Camarido protected area, this Beach is somewhat windy with strong waves reaching shore here creating good year round surfing conditions and windsurfing during the summer.

In front of Moledo Beach is a small rocky island that can be visited by boat. On the island is the Ínsua Fortress, built in the 15th century as a convent before, in the 17th and 18th centuries undergoing conversion work that transformed it into a coastal defence post.
