Briteiros River Beach, located in Santo Estêvão de Briteiros, in the municipality of Guimarães and district of Braga, is a spacious area, ideal for outdoor activities and gatherings with family or friends. Although it doesn't have a snack bar or public restrooms, it's possible to spend a pleasant day by the crystal-clear water of the Ave River, which has a very pleasant temperature.
However, there are some aspects that need improvement. The towel area is small and on dirt ground, which can make access to the river difficult. The surrounding area also needs urgent intervention, as the banks full of weeds and bush are not inviting for a swim or relaxation by the river.
Furthermore, access to the water is rudimentary and can be complicated for children and the elderly, as there is no ramp or steps. Upon exiting the water, it's common to find oneself covered in dirt, which is inconvenient. Therefore, it would be necessary to improve the infrastructure of the place, with the creation of tables, a comfortable lawn for towels, a snack bar and public restrooms, as well as protection on the riverbank to ensure everyone's safety.
Despite these aspects that need improvement, Briteiros River Beach is a quiet and pleasant place, ideal for families with small children. It's possible to see small fish in the water and the riverbed, which makes swimming even more pleasant. The area is excellent for outdoor activities and for those seeking some tranquility amidst nature.
In summary, despite needing some improvements, Briteiros River Beach is a place worth discovering and visiting, especially if you're looking for a quiet and pleasant place for a family outing or with friends.
