In the old quarter of Cariño, it is located a small cove named “Peiral do Campo” , getting through down the stairways from O Campo Street. It has a length of 40 m length  and a high cliff area in the back with several  small islands spreading the bath area. Formed by stones in large quantities, there is a part of fine sand on the left side covered with high tide. It is very appropriate for practising underwater activities.
