The sea of Canasvieiras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Its calm, warm waters (between 23 and 26\u00ba in summer) and gentle waves are ideal for a day of fun for families with children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waves stretch for more than 50 meters on the beach due to the gentle slope of the seabed, giving Canas, the affectionate nickname given to the place, the classification of a shallow beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sand is yellowish to ivory and very good for walking barefoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
