The Foz Rio Sabor River Beach is located in the municipality of Torre de Moncorvo, in the locality of Cabeça Boa, within the area designated Foz do Sabor. This unique place marks the confluence of the Sabor River with the imposing Douro River, providing a natural setting of great beauty.

The calm and crystal-clear waters of the Sabor River, at its confluence with the Douro, form a vast mirror of water that invites a refreshing swim. The Sabor River, which flows into the Douro here, has a significant course, originating in the Serra de Gamoneda, in Spain, and crossing in Portugal the Serra de Montesinho, in the district of Bragança, before joining the Douro. This origin and trajectory give the beach a deep connection with the natural landscape and the hydrography of the region.
