Get a dose of vitamin D at Manta Rota Beach. After you've worked on your tan, stick around and watch the sky turn kaleidoscopic as the sun slowly disappears.
Manta Rota Beach is free to enter, so you can have a fun day out in Vila Real Santo Antonio without reaching for your wallet. When you've finished at this stretch of coastline, head to some of the area's other attractions. Verde Beach, Cabanas Beach and Monte Gordo Beach are a hit with tourists.
