Located in the town of Santa Luzia, in the municipality of Pampilhosa da Serra, Santa Luzia River Beach is integrated into the vast landscape of the reservoir. This location is surrounded by verdant mountains and imposing rock formations, creating a distinct and immersive natural setting.
The reservoir was formed by the construction of the dam, which rises between two large rocks, giving the whole a particular landscape aesthetic. The position of the river beach, next to this body of water, offers a wide perspective on the natural environment that surrounds it.
At the heart of Santa Luzia River Beach is a floating swimming pool, designed to provide a safe and inviting space for swimming. The reservoir's waters are calm and invite a refreshing dip, allowing visitors to safely enjoy leisure moments in the water.
The reservoir that feeds the beach receives waters from the Vidual and Unhais streams, and also from the Rio Ceira reservoir, through a tunnel connection. This confluence of tributaries contributes to the dimension and immensity of the lake that serves as the basis for the river beach.
The surroundings of Santa Luzia River Beach offer various infrastructures that complement the visitor experience. It is possible to find a bike path for cycling, a fitness trail for physical exercise, and pedestrian paths that invite exploration of the surrounding natural beauty.
For the younger ones, or for those looking for something different, there is a skate halfpipe. The vast body of water of the reservoir also provides the possibility of practicing various nautical activities, such as boat trips or canoeing, and also fishing, always with environmental conditions as a backdrop.
Santa Luzia River Beach holds the distinction of the Blue Flag, a recognition that highlights its environmental quality. This symbol certifies the good water conditions, the safety of the area, and the set of equipment and services available for public use.
The awarding of the Blue Flag reflects the commitment to sustainable management and environmental conservation, ensuring that the location maintains its natural characteristics and offers a leisure experience that meets criteria of excellence.
