Baío Beach is located in the locality of Cambelas, part of the municipality of Torres Vedras. It is situated along the Atlantic Ocean coast, in a setting marked by the presence of cliffs. Access to the beach involves a descent from the upper area, offering an elevated perspective over the sandy expanse and the rock formations that characterize the spot before reaching the seafront.
Baío Beach's sandy area has an intermediate extension, developing predominantly in its southern part. In the center, the landscape is distinctly marked by various rock formations. Crossing this rocky area, it is possible to discover a more sheltered and, normally, less frequented stretch of sand, located at the northern end of the beach. This diversity of rocky and sandy elements confers a particular character to the coastal environment.
The Atlantic Ocean conditions at Baío Beach are favorable for the practice of various water activities. Furthermore, it is common to observe the presence of fishermen on the sand, which underlines this beach's enduring connection to local fishing activity and life by the sea. This interaction between the natural environment and fishing culture offers a glimpse into the region's maritime tradition.
