Estorãos River Beach is located in the village of Estorãos, in the municipality of Ponte de Lima. It is situated in the Lacada area, an environment that offers a direct connection to the surrounding natural landscape. From this point, one can observe the grandeur of the Serra D'Arga mountain range, which rises in the distance, providing a unique view of the surroundings.
This place stands out for its serenity and the beauty nature offers. The Estorãos River, with its clear and crystalline waters, flows gently amidst the dense and lush vegetation. The inviting and calm atmosphere provides a refuge for those seeking moments of rest and an opportunity to reconnect with the natural environment.
At the heart of this setting, a particularly interesting element is the ancient bridge that crosses the Estorãos River. This structure, of Roman origin and with traces of medieval reconstruction, features three arches and serves as a visible link to the past, lending an authentic character to the place. Next to it, a disused stone mill, also a testament to time, complements the landscape, reinforcing the bucolic charm of the area.
The waters of the Estorãos River in this area are characterized by their shallow depth for most of their extent, making them a suitable place for a safe swim. The water temperature is pleasant, providing a refreshing break on warmer days. It is an inviting spot for those wishing to enjoy a swim in its tranquil waters or simply feel the cool environment along the banks.
