Praia da Saúde is located in the city of Setúbal, integrated into the Saboaria area, along Avenida José Mourinho. It is close to Albarquel Urban Park, on a riverside front that marks the city's connection to the Sado River.
This area has a particular history, as naval shipyards once existed where the beach is now located, bearing witness to the evolution of the urban space and its conversion for public enjoyment.
Praia da Saúde is a space by the river that serves as a leisure and social gathering spot for those visiting Setúbal or residing in the city. It is sought after by those who wish to be near the water, enjoying the riverside environment.
The beach has been used by many people for swimming. Recognizing this use, some measures have been implemented to create better safety conditions for users.
For those who choose to swim at Praia da Saúde, there are precautions to consider. The location has the presence of lifeguards during certain periods, increasing the safety of those who venture into the water.
Buoys have also been placed to delimit an area in the water. These buoys serve to indicate zones that require greater attention due to the particularities of the riverbed at this point, including a steeper drop-off and the possibility of currents.
It is important to know that Praia da Saúde, although used for swimming, is not a formally classified bathing area. This condition is due to some specific aspects of the riverbed in this area.
In addition to the already mentioned uneven bottom and currents, there may be submerged structures remaining from the period when the area was occupied by shipyards. These characteristics are the reason why caution and attention are recommended when using the space for swimming.
