In the heart of the Great Lake of the Alqueva Dam, located in the village of Amieira, in the municipality of Portel, lies one of the most “hidden” gems of the Alentejo, among thatch, golden sands and warm waters, authentic refuges perfect for this summer: welcome to Praia Fluvial da Amieira.
Straight out of a vacation postcard, the Praia Fluvial da Amieira offers 600 meters of sand (150 of which are guarded) for pure leisure, in a space for families bathed by the calm waters of the Great Lake, where the huge sands and grassy areas stand out, inviting you to lazy afternoons in the sun and long dives in waters that, at the height of summer, can reach 30ºC.
A safe and accessible paradise
Just two hours from Lisbon, these river beaches in the Alentejo have the infrastructure to welcome all visitors with maximum safety and comfort: permanent surveillance between 9am and 7pm; access for people with reduced mobility; nearby parking; and a bar/restaurant with panoramic views over the lake.
The Blue Flag award confirms the quality of the water and these services, making these destinations one of the most coveted by those looking to get away from the coast without sacrificing quality.
There are also plenty of opportunities to enjoy nautical activities, from boat trips to kayaking adventures.
One of the most striking features of Praia Fluvial da Amieira, for example, is its extensive grassy area, which stretches the entire length of the beach.
Near the sand, however, you can find more shade through the many awnings and thatches, which guarantee hours of well-deserved rest.
Sanitary facilities, changing rooms and a medical center make up the more hygienic facilities of these incredible and beautiful river beaches, and there are also dedicated areas for all children to play freely.
Then there’s the surrounding natural area, which makes these beaches real vacation postcards to make all your friends envious.
