Cidreira's 400 m fishing platform reaches out from the beach at Salinas, and its sandbars are the town's favourite surf spot. It works on south to southeast swell with a northwest wind, like the rest of this straight coast. Fishing nets set off the beach are the main danger on this coast, together with the pilings. Intermediate surfers should look for net floats before paddling out and stay well clear of the pier.
