Streetfront Mareta Beach Boutique Bed & Breakfast (9 am open 3 pm-12 check-in/out) has an espresso cafe (8:30-7) and D’Italia Pizzeria attached. It also owns Mareta View which is far less modern and desirable—located behind the hotel on the main square—overlooking the Rocky beach. In a small town of less than 2,000, it’s the closest hotel between the shoreline down below and the Natura Surf shop (8:50 lesson pick-up), or to the Fort/church of Infante Dom Henrique further on. The cafe has free wifi and is a relaxed setting with healthy and sweet food options all day. The restaurant dining duo and hotel establishment basically occupies Praca da Republica; the vendors along the square make it quaint. The hotel is pleasant but not high on security. It is convenient for tourists; but if you’re a serious surfer, you might contact International Surf School and Stay in a more remote road or part entering into the tiny town. You’ll meet friendly folks; and with only 5 trees on the horizon, it’s pretty hard not to be seen and surf!
