Praia da Claridade is located in the urban area of Praia de Buarcos, a coastal zone integrated into the city of Figueira da Foz. This beach represents a central part of the town's seafront, extending along a vast stretch of sand that harmonizes with the urban environment. Its location offers visitors a wide perspective of the coastline.
The name Praia da Claridade (Beach of Clarity) originates from a natural particularity that distinguishes it: its remarkable luminosity. The way sunlight reflects on the sands and water creates a unique visual atmosphere. This characteristic is so striking that the coastal region where the beach is located is often called the Silver Coast, a reference to the silvery gleam observed when the sun shines on the sea.
Since the 19th century, Praia da Claridade has consolidated its position as one of the most sought-after bathing destinations in Portugal. The development of Figueira da Foz, along with the vast stretches of sand and the natural conditions of the place, then attracted vacationers from various parts of the country. The beach maintains this legacy of attraction, still being a place today where the expanse of the sand invites long seaside strolls and moments of tranquility.
