Tarquínio-Paraíso Beach is located in the Costa da Caparica area, integrated into the coastal front of the municipality of Almada. It is situated near the Bairro do Campo da Bola neighborhood. As an oceanic beach, it is directly exposed to the Atlantic Ocean, characterized by being integrated into the urban context of the village.
This beach features a considerably sized stretch of sand. However, its available extent for users varies significantly depending on the tidal cycle. During high tide, a significant portion of the sand is covered by seawater, limiting the usable space.
The sides of Tarquínio-Paraíso Beach are marked by the presence of groynes. These rock structures help protect the sand, but they are also prime spots for line fishing, attracting those who enjoy this coastal activity.
Additionally, in the southernmost area of the beach, there is a ramp used for launching and retrieving small fishing boats. This element offers a glimpse into the local community's connection to the sea and traditional fishing activity.
Tarquínio-Paraíso Beach has been recognized for its water quality and compliance with environmental criteria. Over the years, it has received various distinctions that attest to the safety and bathing quality of the location. Among these distinctions are the Blue Flag, which signals compliance with rigorous quality and environmental management criteria, and the Zero Pollution classification, indicating excellent water quality for bathing.
