Praia Borna

Praia Borna is a picturesque beach known for its calm and clean waters, making it a popular anchoring spot for pleasure boats. The beach is characterized by its narrowness, which becomes more pronounced during high tide. Despite its small size, it is quite frequented, and visitors are advised to secure their spots early, especially during high tide when the beach practically disappears. One of the unique features of Praia Borna is a designated nudist area at the end of the beach, which can be accessed either from the main beach or via stairs leading directly to it. This area offers an alternative for those seeking a more liberating beach experience. The beach is also known for its beach bar, which offers spectacular views of the beach and the estuary. The bar serves tasty and affordable food, adding to the overall beach experience. In terms of amenities, the beach is equipped with showers for the convenience of beachgoers. However, visitors should be aware of the occasional presence of seaweed and flies, which can sometimes be a nuisance. Additionally, the beach's seabed is described as muddy and can sometimes be littered with debris such as plastic and ropes, posing challenges for anchoring. Despite these minor inconveniences, Praia Borna is considered an ideal beach for those seeking shelter from the wind, particularly when it blows from the north. Its natural beauty and tranquil waters continue to attract visitors, making it a worthwhile destination for beach lovers.
