Paul River Beach is located in the village of Paul, an area of Covilhã found in the southern part of Serra da Estrela. This place is fed by the Caia River, whose waters originate from the confluence of the Cortes River and the Unhais da Serra River, at Taliscas.
Its position offers an interesting perspective: on one side, the area closest to the village of Paul can be seen, while on the other, the landscape opens up to the expanses of Serra da Estrela. A small bridge connects the riverbanks, allowing for a relaxed observation of the surroundings.
This unique space is characterized by a remarkable natural pool, formed over many years by the continuous action of the clear and fresh water of the Caia River. The purity of these waters has shaped the rock, creating a set of natural pools and small waterfalls that stretch along the river.
The transparency of the water allows one to see the riverbed and the moss covering the stones, reflecting the quality of the fluvial environment. The natural surroundings are rich in vegetation, which harmonizes with the Paul Valley and the Caia River, lending scenic beauty to the place.
Paul River Beach offers a predominantly calm environment, ideal for those seeking a moment of tranquility. Along the banks, there are sandy areas and a variety of rock formations where one can lay out a towel to enjoy the sun or natural shade.
The presence of boulders scattered throughout the area makes the space suitable for picnics, in a natural and relaxed setting. For those seeking a more dynamic experience, some rocks invite dives into the fresh waters, taking advantage of the river's natural depths. It is important to bear in mind that this is a natural space, without permanent surveillance.
