Louçainha River Beach is located in the Ribeira Velha area, in the locality of Louçainha, belonging to the municipality of Penela. This retreat is immersed in the serenity of the Serra do Espinhal, a predominantly green landscape with an inviting atmosphere for relaxation, perfectly integrated into the region's natural scenery.
This bathing area stands out due to its origin, which results from the adaptation of the natural characteristics of the Azenha stream. The riverbed was transformed into several dams of different depths, creating distinct zones: a more sheltered and shallower one, designed for children, and a wider and deeper one, ideal for swimming, with points reaching over three meters in depth and including a diving board.
The surrounding landscape conveys a remarkable sense of tranquility. The harmonious union of the vibrant green of the mountains with the freshness of the crystal-clear waters gives this place an atmosphere of peace, making it ideal for those seeking a moment of relaxation amidst nature.
Louçainha River Beach is recognized for the quality of its waters and the infrastructures it offers. This place has been distinguished with the Blue Flag, a seal that attests to its environmental and management excellence, and also with the Accessible Beach seal, which highlights the care taken to ensure the use of the space by visitors with reduced mobility, through appropriate access ramps.
For visitors' greater comfort, the beach has changing rooms equipped with showers. Safety during the bathing season is a priority, with the presence of lifeguards and a first-aid post, ensuring a peaceful experience for everyone.
