The Pomares River Beach is located in the town of Pomares, in the municipality of Arganil. It is situated in the Portelinha area, along the banks of the Ribeira da Moura. This location offers a privileged perspective over the imposing Serra do Açor, framing the bathing area with a natural landscape of great beauty.
The bathing area of this river beach is the result of an ingenious dam built in the bed of the Ribeira da Moura. This intervention allows water to be retained, forming an extensive and inviting body of water, ideal for enjoying a swim in a natural environment.
The surroundings of the pool are marked by the presence of a bridge crossing the Ribeira da Moura, whose origins date back to the 18th century. This architectural element adds a touch of history to the scenery. In terms of vegetation, the site stands out for its lime trees that offer shade in the resting area and the small walnut trees that punctuate the banks of the waterway, enriching the natural environment.
The Pomares River Beach is an invitation to serenity and relaxation. Its calm atmosphere, combined with the natural beauty that surrounds it, creates the ideal setting for those seeking a moment of relaxation, far from the daily hustle and bustle. It is a space designed for well-being and the unhurried enjoyment of nature.
