About this trail

Galinhos sits on a sand spit between the Atlantic and a wide estuary. The estuary side gets the same trade wind as the ocean side but with zero chop and zero crowd. You can ride for kilometres on glass, often without crossing another rider. It is the local secret for foilers and freestylers who want flat water with strong wind. Access: walk five minutes from the village square with your gear.
