Located in the village of Anha, in the municipality of Viana do Castelo, Praia da Amorosa stretches along the Atlantic coast. It is characterized by an extensive sandy beach, framed by a remarkable dune system. Access to the beach is facilitated by wooden walkways, designed to preserve this natural ecosystem.
The beach features fine sand and is dotted with a vast quantity of rocks of various shapes and sizes. As the tide recedes, these rocks reveal distinct silhouettes, from the most rugged to the most rounded, creating a dynamic and visually interesting scenery. Along its length, the coastal profile outlines some small coves, giving the beach a varied appearance.
Low tide reveals one of the most unique aspects of Praia da Amorosa: the tide pools trapped among the rocks. These small ecosystems invite observation, where you can discover the local marine life, such as algae, limpets, mussels, shrimps, crabs, and small starfish, which naturally inhabit these environments.
Praia da Amorosa is a place appreciated both by those seeking a relaxed atmosphere and by those who enjoy practicing water sports. It is especially known by surf and bodyboard enthusiasts, who find favorable conditions here. Its welcoming atmosphere also makes it a family destination in the region, valued by the local community.
