Legend has it that the first riders settled in the ancient Temple of Solomon, where they found documents and treasures that made them powerful. It is said they had the guardianship of the Holy Grail, the cup which collected the blood of Jesus Christ on the cross and that had already been used at the Last Supper. In the 14th century took place the dissolution of the Order by the persecutions of Philip, King of France, and the Templars took refuge in Portugal. Under the auspices of D,Diniz, who founded the Order of Christ – based in the Convent of Tomar – and inherited the assets of the Portuguese Templars that played a central role in the Portuguese Discoveries.

The beach  is mostly known for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing.

Strong northern winds are predominant during summer time (June–August) as well as smaller north-west swells, making this beach ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing. During winter (especially December), the predominant winds are from the east, and swells increase in size, making it a perfect spot for surfing, with multiple beach-breaks providing powerful lefts and rights. There are also several surfcamps and surfschools in the area that provide accommodation and services including rentals, repairs and surfing classes.
