Praia da Pesqueira is located on the coast of the municipality of Mafra, in the territory of Santo Isidoro. This place is characterized by a robust natural environment, where cliffs dominate the Atlantic waters, shaping the coastal landscape. Its position offers a privileged vantage point over the ocean and the coast.
The sandy area of Praia da Pesqueira exhibits a diverse composition. In its northernmost portion, there is a smaller sandy area. However, as one explores towards the center and south of the beach, the landscape transforms, revealing extensive rocky slabs that emerge from the waterline and integrate into the natural structure of the cliff. This duality offers different perspectives and experiences by the sea.
This beach is an example of the force of the Atlantic Ocean, with its frequently agitated waters. Praia da Pesqueira is part of the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve, a recognition of the importance of its waves and its coastal ecosystem. This integration highlights the natural value of the location for those seeking the energy of the sea and the beauty of a wilder coastline.
Access to the sandy area of Praia da Pesqueira may require some care, given the nature of the terrain and the need to descend towards the coast. However, this characteristic contributes to its more secluded atmosphere, away from large crowds. At the top of the cliff that frames the beach, the scenery is dominated by the green of the vegetation, interspersed with trails that allow for a panoramic view over the entire cove and the immensity of the ocean.
