In 1988, the Praia Grande was classified a "Praia Dourada” (meaning golden beach) by the Ministry of the Environment. To highlight the event, a walking trail is proposed to all that visit the beach. The tour is designed so that visitors can best enjoy and appreciate the landscape and existing natural heritage. The trail is split into two walking paths, each around two kilometers long. These are: the trilho nascente (rising sun trail) and the trilho poente (setting sun trail).

During the daytime the tourist train travels through several of the town’s streets. The train makes six stops: the casino, Pescadores beach, Avenida do Rio, the camping site, D. João II street and Hotel Náutico. The journey can be made between 10am and 00:35am and costs 2.50€.
