Praia dos Frades is located in the region of São Bernardino, belonging to the civil parish of Atouguia da Baleia, in the municipality of Peniche. This oceanic beach faces the vast Atlantic Ocean, nestled on the locality's seafront. Access to the beach is via trails situated on the tops of the cliffs to the north and south, offering expansive views of the surrounding coast and the sandy area.
Characterized by an extensive sandy area, Praia dos Frades offers a vast space by the sea. In its central area, an interesting rock formation stands out, rising near the waterline, giving the landscape a distinct natural element. This configuration makes the beach scenery dynamic and visually interesting, with the imposing cliffs framing the sandy area.
The waters that bathe Praia dos Frades are those of the Atlantic Ocean, which can display their natural force. It is important to note the presence of various submerged rocks in the area, which require some caution for those enjoying the sea. However, this natural characteristic also contributes to the wave conditions, making the spot suitable for some water sports activities. The nature of the waves, sometimes more playful, allows experienced individuals to take advantage of their characteristics.
