Pópulo Beach is a Portuguese beach area located in the log of Rosto de Cão, parish of Livramento in the municipality of Ponta Delgada. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the land surrounding this beach was dedicated to the cultivation of vineyards, and access was not open, being almost the exclusive use of landowners whose land ended on the seafront.
It was already in the twentieth century that this beach located at the gates of the city of Ponta Delgada was improved by the intervention of man through the extinct Junta Geral do Distrito Autónomo de Ponta Delgada. Thus, it was in the 1950s of the twentieth century, when a road was launched through the old vineyard lands to make a variant to the Southern Regional Road, which opened up to the collective use of the sand.
Quickly the surrounding land was subject to construction and the beach became the use of the city of Ponta Delgada, which now has an excellent bathing area.
