Beach on the sheltered south coast of São Miguel. Gentle reef break for swell days.
Praia do Populo is a surf beach in Açores, Portugal.
Praia do Populo welcomes surfers of different levels, from beginner to more experienced, depending on the sea state.
The bottom is mixed sand and rock. It helps to know where the rocks are, especially at low tide.
Praia do Populo has partial swell exposure: it works on many days but benefits from a bigger swell or a favourable direction. It is usually best with swell from S-SW. The beach faces South.
