Palheirão Beach is located in the town of Tocha, integrated into the municipality of Cantanhede. This coastal area is situated a few kilometers north of Tocha Beach and extends along a vast stretch of sand, encompassing not only the municipality of Cantanhede but also part of the municipality of Mira, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean.
This location stands out for having an intact coastal strip of great natural beauty. Its sands stretch for several kilometers, accompanied by a system of rolling dunes that connect to an extensive forest area, known as the Cantanhede Dunes Forest Perimeter. The view offers a panorama where the green of the forest meets the golden sand and the infinite blue of the sea.
Often referred to as the Golden Beach, Palheirão Beach is recognized for its serene and uncrowded environment. It is a true refuge for those seeking a more intimate and solitary contact with nature, away from the hustle and bustle. Its atmosphere invites tranquility and contemplation of a landscape that is still very preserved.
Given its extent and naturally isolated environment, Palheirão Beach is a suitable place for various experiences. It is a popular spot for those who practice naturism, enjoying the privacy and quietness that the space offers. The natural conditions of the sea and coast also make it suitable for water sports such as surfing and bodyboarding.
