Praia da Princesa is situated within the vast beach area of Costa da Caparica, in the municipality of Almada. It faces the Atlantic Ocean, a characteristic feature of beaches along this Portuguese coast. It is part of a long stretch of sand known as Praia do Rei, belonging to the geographical unit of Acácias Sul.
This beach features a considerable expanse of sand. For visitors, an interesting aspect to observe is the frequent formation of water puddles on the sand when the tide is low. These puddles create small water mirrors that reflect the sky and the surrounding landscape.
Inland, Praia da Princesa is framed by a well-preserved dune system. Accompanying the dunes is dense vegetation characteristic of this coastal area. This natural landscape significantly contributes to the local atmosphere, creating a distinct scenery.
Praia da Princesa is recognized for its environmental quality and the conditions it offers. Over the years, it has received awards attesting to its good water quality, such as the Blue Flag or the Gold Flag, and its facilities, being considered, for example, an accessible beach.
