Palmeira River Beach is located in the town of Palmeira, in the municipality of Amares, in an area known as Bico. Situated on the banks of the River Cávado, this bathing area benefits from its proximity to a bridge connecting the municipalities of Amares and Braga, giving it a unique setting. Although integrated into an urban context, it maintains a strong connection with the river's natural landscape.
This space is characterized by a vast, inviting sandy area, bordered by extensive lawn areas that stretch along the waters of the Cávado. The river offers a fluvial bathing experience, with its flowing waters. It is important to note that the dynamics of the Cávado's waters at this point can occasionally be influenced by a mini-hydroelectric plant upstream, resulting in variations in flow; however, the safety of the bathing area is always properly signposted and monitored for the tranquility of visitors.
For a comfortable day by the river, Palmeira River Beach offers a set of facilities that complement its natural beauty. Here you will find a picnic park, with some covered areas, ideal for a riverside picnic, including grills available. For added convenience, there are also sanitary facilities and showers that visitors can use.
Palmeira River Beach is a place conducive to various forms of enjoyment and leisure. In addition to swimming in the river, its tranquil waters and the surrounding landscape invite soft nautical activities such as canoeing or paddleboarding. The banks of the Cávado, at this point, are also ideal for those seeking a peaceful stroll, enjoying the serenity of the river environment.
