Avenida Verdes Mares runs along Praia do Francês, offering palm-framed beachfront views, rocky outcrops, breaking surf and lively kiosks — great for surfers, coastal landscapes and candid beach life. Visit at sunrise for soft east-facing light and glassy water, or late afternoon for warm tones and dramatic waves; check tides for exposed rock pools. Easy access by car; parking available but limited at weekends. No entry fees; popular with locals and tourists, so be respectful of vendors and beach
