Known as Palheiros de Mira due to the typical wooden huts of the fishermen, Praia de Mira was a fishing village until the mid-20th century. Its daily life is now portrayed in the ethnographic museum, housed in an old restored hut. Today, it is a popular destination, with fine white sands, imposing dunes and the strong waves of the Atlantic, perfect for surfing. Beyond the dunes, in the Mata Nacional, the scent of pine envelops Lagoa da Barrinha, a serene refuge where the calm waters invite you to sail, canoe and windsurf.
