Covões Beach is located in the northern part of the municipality of Óbidos, more specifically in the locality of Vau. This oceanic beach is part of the Trilho dos Covões (Covões Trail) area, a name that already suggests a more natural environment and close contact with the coastal landscape. Bathed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, its position along the coastline offers a unique setting, characteristic of the region.
This beach stands out for its vast sandy expanse, which stretches along a considerable portion of the coast. On days of greater sea agitation, the sand at Covões Beach can acquire darker, sometimes almost blackened, hues, giving it a changeable appearance in tune with the ocean's power. The spaciousness invites long walks along the shoreline, allowing one to appreciate the immensity of the coastal landscape without major interruptions.
Covões Beach offers a distinct environment, attracting those seeking a more nature-oriented experience. The view from the top of the cliff, which runs alongside the sandy area, provides a wide and stunning perspective over the Atlantic. It is an ideal place for those who value serenity, landscape contemplation, and the sound of the waves, enjoying the untouched beauty of a wilder, less frequented beach, where nature manifests itself in all its plenitude.
