Praia da Vieira (North) is situated in the municipality of Marinha Grande, within the town of Praia da Vieira. It is specifically located on the north bank of the River Lis estuary, next to Avenida Marginal. Its position at the northernmost end of the seafront gives it a sense of spaciousness and a direct connection to the riverine and maritime landscape.
Access to the sandy beach is via a network of walkways that extend along the riverside front, allowing for landscape observation and traversing the dune system without disturbing its delicate natural balance. In the southern area, a river bar jetty delineates part of the beach area.
This stretch of coast is characterized by a very extensive sandy beach, inviting long walks along the sea. One of its most striking features is the dune system that extends along its entire length, creating a natural barrier between urbanization and the ocean. These dunes offer elevated perspectives over the vastness of the beach and the blue Atlantic.
At its southern end, the beach embraces the estuary of the River Lis, a meeting point between the fresh waters of the river and the salty waters of the ocean. This confluence shapes a dynamic landscape, with the presence of seabirds and peculiar biodiversity, making the location interesting for nature observation.
Praia da Vieira (North) offers a distinctly more secluded and serene environment, compared to more bustling areas of the town. The spaciousness of the sandy beach and the dominant presence of nature, with its dunes and proximity to the river, contribute to an atmosphere of tranquility.
It is a suitable place for those seeking the calm of the Atlantic coast, the vastness of the horizon, and the opportunity to enjoy leisure moments in direct contact with a largely untouched natural setting. The sound of the waves and the sea breeze are constant companions for those who visit this beach.
