Esmoriz South Beach is located in the coastal area of the town of Esmoriz, belonging to the municipality of Ovar. It is part of Esmoriz's urban seafront, positioned as the southernmost section of the city's beach. Its location is characterised by its proximity to a more built-up area, yet it maintains a close connection to the surrounding nature.
This beach area is framed by an environment that transitions between urbanisation and natural landscapes. To the east, a forest area extends, connecting to the Maritime Pine Forest, part of the Ovar Dunes, providing a green contrast to the blue of the ocean.
Esmoriz South Beach stands out for its vast sandy area, composed of fine sands. This expanse of sand is punctuated by a breakwater, a built structure that projects into the sea and divides the beach. It is important to note that, on days with rougher seas and during high tide, the sandy area can become completely submerged by the Atlantic waters.
The maritime landscape is dominated by an ocean with cold waters and a frequently rough sea, a common characteristic of this region's Atlantic coast. This natural condition contributes to the beach's dynamism and atmosphere.
Due to its oceanic waters and sometimes vigorous sea, Esmoriz South Beach is a suitable place for activities such as surfing and bodyboarding. The waves offer an energetic setting for those seeking these sports.
The existing pier in this area of the beach is a meeting point for fishing enthusiasts, who find a spot for their activity there. The general atmosphere of the beach invites leisurely strolls along the sea, offering direct contact with the ocean's power and beauty.
