It is specifically situated within the urbanization that shares its name. The beach is framed by imposing cliffs that shape its landscape. Access to the sandy area is via a staircase descending the cliff, revealing vast stretches of sand that extend to the territorial border with the municipality of Peniche.

The peculiar name of this beach derives from an antenna installed at the summit of the overlooking cliff. This structure, part of a meteorological station, gives a distinctive element to the landscape and gave rise to the designation of the location.
