Location

Tamargueira Beach is located in Figueira da Foz, within the area of Buarcos and São Julião. Its position is adjacent to an extensive seafront promenade, which runs along the coastline. Extending north of the breakwater that delimits the city's more central beaches, it offers an unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastal strip of Figueira da Foz.

Natural Formations and Low Tide

A distinctive feature of Tamargueira is the presence of rocky formations scattered across the sandy area. These natural structures extend to the waterline, cutting through the water line at certain points. During low tide, the receding water reveals these rocks, forming numerous natural pools. In these calmer water spaces, it is possible to observe and explore local marine life, including the discovery of bivalves, providing an immersive experience in coastal biodiversity.

Oceanic Dynamism

The sea at Tamargueira Beach sometimes presents a more agitated character, reflecting the characteristic energy of the Atlantic Ocean. This particularity makes the beach a suitable place for those who appreciate the force of the waves and the vastness of the Atlantic. The extensive sandy area offers space for long walks along the water, allowing visitors to absorb the landscape and the continuous sound of the waves.

Coastal Environment

Tamargueira Beach is known for its vibrant atmosphere, which integrates harmoniously with the surrounding urban area. Its location allows for a fluid connection with the locality, while maintaining the natural essence of an oceanic beach. It is a point in Figueira da Foz where coastal life manifests authentically, inviting moments of relaxation by the immensity of the sea.
