Praia do Dragão Vermelho is situated on the extensive coastline of Costa da Caparica, within the municipality of Almada, which in turn belongs to the district of Setúbal. This location grants it direct exposure to the vast Atlantic Ocean, framing it within the natural and characteristic environment of the wide beaches of this Portuguese coastal strip.
From its position, it is possible to contemplate the amplitude of the coastline and its uninterrupted connection with the sea, benefiting from a context that enhances the beauty and immensity of the Caparica coast.
Characterized by a considerable expanse of sand, Praia do Dragão Vermelho offers an uncluttered and inviting space. Its coastal landscape is marked by the presence of natural dunes in certain areas, crucial elements that contribute to the stability of the local ecosystem and shape the distinctive physiognomy of its environment.
The constant influence of sea winds brings a refreshing breeze, while the waves, typical of the Atlantic coast, define the rhythm and energy of the sea in this location. These elements together create a natural dynamic that characterizes the experience of those who seek the coast.
The scenery at Praia do Dragão Vermelho is dominated by the vastness of the ocean and a wide horizon, offering an unobstructed perspective of the maritime environment. This configuration provides panoramic views that extend along the coastline and the Atlantic, inviting serene observation of nature.
The sunsets over the Atlantic waters are one of its most striking scenic aspects. The twilight hues paint the sky and the waterline with a palette of vibrant and sometimes intense colors, creating a natural spectacle that captivates the senses each late afternoon.
