Pack a light lunch and some water. There aren't many shops nearby, so it's nice to have your snacks while enjoying those stunning views without feeling rushed.

Bring your camera but also a good phone charger. You’ll be snapping photos non-stop, and the battery drain is real. A portable charger works wonders!

Check the tide times before you go. Exploring the caves and grottos is way more fun when the water is low. I ended up missing some because I didn't plan ahead.

Try to visit around 5 PM, just before sunset. The golden hour makes the rocks glow, and it’s less crowded then. It was the best part of my trip!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to the beach. Prices at nearby cafes can be pretty high, especially during the peak season. I regretted spending too much on a soda when I could've brought my own!

Bring a light jacket for the evening. It gets breezy after sunset, and I didn't expect it. I was shivering while others were comfortable, so plan ahead!

If you want a quieter spot, head to the far left side of the beach. It’s less populated, so you can enjoy a more relaxed experience without all the hustle and bustle of the main area.

If you're planning to surf, try to rent a board instead of buying one. I rented from a local shop and got a great deal. Also, they throw in a quick surf lesson, which was super helpful.

A cool tip I found is to chat with the locals. They’re super friendly and can give you great pointers on the best techniques and strategies. Trust me, it really adds to the experience!

My advice is to arrive around 3 PM for the best experience. It's less crowded then, and you can grab a nice spot to play without waiting too long.

Check out the package deals! Buying a combo ticket for activities like laser tag and zorbing ended up saving me quite a bit compared to getting separate tickets.

I recommend grabbing your tickets online to skip the queues; it saved me a ton of time and hassle. The official website usually has good deals!

If you’re planning to eat at the stadium, get there at least an hour early. The food lines can get really long, especially if it's a big match night.

Try to catch public transport to get there. I took the metro and it was super easy, no parking stress, and way cheaper than a taxi.

Wear good hiking shoes! I saw a lot of people struggling in flip-flops, and I really wouldn't recommend it. Good grip is key since some paths can be slippery!

Check the weather the day before. It can change quickly out there, and I got caught in a surprise rain shower. Always a bummer to hike in wet jeans!

If you’re on a budget, stick to their happy hour specials from 5-7 PM. I saved a lot and the drinks were still really good.

I think the atmosphere is what makes Foxtrot special. Take some time to just soak it all in, especially the decor. I wasn’t expecting it to be so cozy and welcoming!

My advice is to try their traditional Portuguese cocktails. They blew my mind—definitely something unique. Don't just stick to the regular stuff!

Definitely try to get there around 7 PM to snag a good spot before it gets crowded. I went too late and had to stand most of the time.

I recommend checking their drink specials before you order – they often have happy hour deals that can save you some cash!

My advice is to chat with the staff; they’re friendly and can recommend some great local beers that you might not find elsewhere

If you want to play billiards, bring some friends and be ready to wait for a table during busy nights. The games are super fun, but it can get competitive!
