Pico da Antena Beach is a coastal strip stretching along the Atlantic Ocean, located in the municipality of Óbidos, specifically in the locality of Amoreira. It is specifically situated within the urbanization that shares its name. The beach is framed by imposing cliffs that shape its landscape. Access to the sandy area is via a staircase descending the cliff, revealing vast stretches of sand that extend to the territorial border with the municipality of Peniche. Atop the cliffs, some buildings can be observed, marking the surrounding landscape.
The peculiar name of this beach derives from an antenna installed at the summit of the overlooking cliff. This structure, part of a meteorological station, gives a distinctive element to the landscape and gave rise to the designation of the location.

The natural environment is dominated by the imposing cliffs that protect it and by the unobstructed views of the Atlantic. Characterized by a combination of sandy areas and rocky zones, Pico da Antena Beach offers a diverse setting where the dynamic waters of the ocean meet a sometimes tranquil landscape, ideal for those seeking a more serene contact with nature.
