Situated in the coastal area of Peniche, Praia do Salgueiro / Carreiro da Lage is part of the Praia do Salgueiro urbanisation, in the locality of Lugar da Estrada. This location offers direct contact with the maritime landscape of the municipality of Peniche, characterised by its diverse coastline. Its position allows for the enjoyment of a predominantly natural environment, with the proximity of residential areas that blend into the landscape.
This location distinguishes itself by its dual nature, combining the expanse of a more sandy beach, known as Praia do Salgueiro, with a distinct rocky area, designated Carreiro da Lage. This combination offers a varied coastal experience, where the softness of the sand meets the robustness of the rock formations. The transition between the two environments is fluid, allowing visitors to explore different aspects of the coastline in a single space.
The Carreiro da Lage is a striking natural feature, composed of rocky slabs that extend along the seafront. These formations, shaped by the action of the sea and time, create a unique scenery, especially visible at low tide. Here, it is possible to observe marine life sheltering in the small tidal pools and crevices of the rocks, revealing the local biodiversity in miniature. The geology of the place itself invites a keen eye, unveiling unique patterns and textures in the stone.
Praia do Salgueiro / Carreiro da Lage provides a tranquil environment, ideal for those seeking a moment of connection with nature. The vastness of the ocean and the sound of the waves dominate the atmosphere, inviting contemplation of the landscape. The open horizons and the sea breeze contribute to a sense of serenity, making this a suitable place for coastal walks and for enjoying the views over the Atlantic.
