Costinha Beach is located in the municipality of Figueira da Foz, in the locality of Quiaios, more precisely in the Bom Sucesso area. This oceanic beach, bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, is set within a unique natural environment, particularly the Quiaios Dunes National Forest, which extends east of the sandy area and defines much of its surroundings.
Characterized by a sandy area of remarkable size, approximately 7.8 kilometers long, Costinha Beach stands out for its vast dune system and accompanying coastal vegetation. This scenery gives it an authentic and minimally intervened appearance. During periods of higher precipitation, it is possible to observe the formation of a small watercourse approximately four hundred meters north of the access area.
The scenic beauty of the place is enriched by the distant view of the Serra da Boa Viagem, which appears on the horizon, complementing the beach's natural experience.
For those seeking a refuge from daily life, Costinha Beach offers an environment of exceptional tranquility and seclusion. It is a place where the sound of the waves takes center stage and contact with nature is more direct, providing moments of true tranquility. Due to its secluded nature, it is also a space sought after by naturists.
Sea conditions at Costinha Beach are sometimes rough, making it a suitable place for various water sports. Its waves create the ideal setting for disciplines such as Surfing, Bodyboarding, Windsurfing, and Kitesurfing. Furthermore, the extensive sandy area and the ocean's dynamism invite sport fishing, providing an additional way to enjoy this coastal space.
