Adaúfe River Beach is located in Ribeira de Baixo, in the town of Adaúfe, within the municipality of Braga. Situated on the left bank of the Cávado River, it benefits from a riverside environment that invites relaxation and enjoyment of the surrounding natural landscape.
This place stands out for its spacious grassy area, ideal for those seeking to relax under the sun or enjoy outdoor social moments. In addition to the grassy area, there is a sandy portion that complements the beach experience. The constant presence of the Cávado River creates a serene setting, suitable for various forms of leisure.
Visitors can enjoy sunbathing and light sports, such as volleyball, or water activities like canoeing. For those who prefer more active leisure, there is also a diving board and a fitness park available on site.
A particular aspect of Adaúfe River Beach is the presence of an old water-lifting mechanism. This structure, once fundamental for raising water and irrigating neighboring agricultural fields, today serves as a link to the region's rural history, lending an authentic character and connection to local heritage.
The quality and sustainability of Adaúfe River Beach are evidenced by two important distinctions. Since 2016, the site has been awarded the Blue Flag, a symbol of environmental excellence and good management practices. Additionally, the beach has been recognized with the Accessible Beach for All Award since 2014, which highlights its commitment to offering conditions for enjoyment to all visitors.
On site, there is a network of well-defined and interconnected pedestrian paths that facilitate circulation and provide direct access to the water, making exploration of the bathing area comfortable and inviting.
