Bartolomeu Dias Pier is located in Portimão's riverside area, integrated into the city's urban fabric and directly adjacent to the Arade River. Its strategic position offers unobstructed views over the water and the coastline, providing an environment where city life intersects with maritime dynamics. It is an easily accessible point for those exploring Portimão's riverside.
This pier is a reflection of Portimão's strong connection to the sea. Designed to accommodate a considerable number of vessels, up to seventy, Bartolomeu Dias Pier is a place of constant movement and activity. The presence of different types of boats and ships creates an authentic maritime atmosphere, ideal for observing port life and feeling the pulse of the waters.
The infrastructure of Bartolomeu Dias Pier stands out for its quality and modernity, the result of a comprehensive rehabilitation completed in August 2015. This intervention included the replacement of walkways and pontoons, with the introduction of new wooden decks, which contribute to a refined aesthetic and a more pleasant user experience. The improvement also extended to the mooring piles and the access bridge, ensuring the durability and functionality of all equipment for those accessing the site.
