Best beach for surfing in the Azores, also great for sun bathing and experienced swimmers, with a great restaurant/bar at either end

Praia Santa Barbara is world-class surfing location, but it is also one of the most beautiful beaches on Sao Miguel. Walk the beach and then have a drink or lunch at Tuka Tula Bar.
