Castelhanos
Edit SpotAbout
Its a peacefull place, great for camping. Leo's Camping is the best option. If possible, start taking B12 vitamins at least 10 days before heading castelhanos...it will help keeping the moskitos away
DO NOT LITTER!!!!
Additional Info:
The waves break trough all the bay depending on the swell direction, When it is an E or ENE swell the left corner breaks the best lefts, but when a big SE or ESE comes around, the rights next to the small island fires trough the bay.
The bay is protected form the southerly winds and the West wind is even better. Only the East wind can ruin it....
