The Vicentina coast houses a beach near the village of Aljezur which has a stream whose water has a higher temperature than the ocean, providing safe conditions for families and a natural natural scenario. This bathing zone combines tranquility, natural heritage and conducive conditions for both rest and for the practice of water sports activities.
According to the Portal Linked to Tourism, Algarve Portugal Tourism, Praia da Amoreira is pointed out by many as one of the “most beautiful” of Costa Vicentina, both by the extensive Areal and the confluence between Mar and Ribeira. Even in the most popular periods, the site maintains a relatively calm environment and offers enough space for all visitors.
Natural beach characteristics
Sea waters are often sought by surfers, with waves compatible with different levels of experience. According to the same source, the beach is about 580 meters long and is surrounded by dunes and cliffs. The north side cliff presents, according to popular tradition, the form of a sleeping giant.
The banks of Ribeira form lagoons at low tide that attract children and provide a safer environment to swim. Write the publication that the waters of the stream remain clean and slightly warmer than those of the sea, fact recognized by the blue flag attributed to the beach.
Infrastructure and Access
Access to Praia da Amoreira is only possible by car, with parking on the east and north sides. From the east side it is necessary to walk a certain distance to the sand, while on the north side there is a wooden ramp that facilitates direct access.
At the south of the south, a wooden staircase acts as a viewpoint and offers a wide view of the beach and the surrounding landscape. It refers to the same source that, from this point, it is possible to observe several species of birds and, occasionally, otters.
Fisherman and Biodiversity Rail
Explains the Algarve Portugal Tourism website that the “Fisherman Trail”, integrated on the Vicentina Route, crosses the Praia da Amoreira and allows unique views of the cliffs and the coast. This route is valued internationally and was classified as one of the most beautiful coastal tracks in the world.
In the areas of dunes and sapal, priority habitats are identified for nature conservation, especially the presence of endemic species, such as Biscutella Vicentina. Some rock formations on the south side correspond to old fossilized dunes, which make up a scenario of high geological value.
According to the access to Praia da Amoreira is a route of about seven kilometers of tarm road, crossing the D. Sancho valley and accompanying Ribeira. The route is marked by landscapes where endogenous flora and pasture fields predominate.
Writes the municipality that the far south of the beach, known locally as a “tremendous”, is a privileged place for line fishing. During the bathing season, rental and lounge loungers are available, as well as surveillance of saving swimmers and a surf school that provides equipment and equipment rentals.
