Location

Arnoso River Beach is located in the locality of Arnoso, within the area known as Quinta, in the municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão. This area extends along the right bank of the Guizande River, providing a natural and serene setting, typical of a riverside landscape.

Environment and Leisure

This place, popularly known as a river beach, offers an inviting area for enjoying outdoor moments. It is characterized by a wide expanse of well-maintained green spaces, ideal for tranquil leisure activities and picnics, taking advantage of its proximity to the river. The environment, punctuated by the vegetation that accompanies the watercourse, invites relaxation and appreciation of the surrounding natural landscape.

Nature and Water Quality

Although widely designated as a river beach, this area corresponds to an intervention in the bed of the Guizande River, where gates were installed with the original purpose of water retention for irrigation. The use of this location for bathing is a practice that has been established locally over time. However, it is important to note that the competent authorities do not classify this spot as monitored bathing water. This means that its use for aquatic purposes is not supervised, and the water quality is not regularly assessed for that purpose, distinguishing it from officially recognized bathing waters.
