This is a very pretty beach with access from the Olhos de Água village or the Quinta da Balaia tourist resort. The Maria Luísa Beach is characterised by the surrounding ochre cliffs. The remains of an enormous pothole at the eastern end of the beach looks like a house with an arched doorway. An EEC Blue Flag beach, the average summer seawater temperature is 20-23 ºC. There are facilities for disabled, sunshade rental, showers, restaurants, sailing, windsurfing and water skiing.
