Located in the village of Ribamar, in the municipality of Lourinhã, Praia do Zimbral is a coastal cove bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It is characterized by a striking natural environment, where access is via the sands of neighboring beaches, giving it a more secluded atmosphere. At the top of the cliff that defines it, agricultural fields are arranged in a way that resembles a chessboard, a peculiar characteristic of the local landscape.
The morphology of Praia do Zimbral is defined by a medium-sized sandy area, nestled between impressive rock formations that delimit it to the north and south. This natural configuration gives it a more sheltered character. It is worth noting that the sandy area available to bathers can be significantly reduced during high tide periods, as the water reaches a large part of the sand strip.
Praia do Zimbral is recognized for the atmosphere of serenity it offers, being a refuge for those seeking moments of tranquility away from the usual hustle and bustle of other bathing areas. Its more secluded character and the absence of large crowds contribute to a more relaxing and peaceful beach experience, ideal for a day of rest by the sea.
