The Senhora da Ribeira River Beach is located in the parish of Pinheiro de Ázere, within the municipality of Santa Comba Dão. This space, which invites contact with nature, is positioned in the ancient valleys where the Mondego and Dão rivers crossed. Its proximity to important communication routes makes it an easily accessible place for visitors.
The geographical surroundings are marked by a vast forest area, which embraces the body of water, providing an environment of tranquility and fresh air.
This pleasant body of water resulted from the construction of the Aguieira Dam on the Mondego River. The dam project shaped the local landscape, creating a leisure space where previously there were only river valleys. Human intervention gave rise to a scenery that integrates harmoniously with the surrounding nature.
The presence of this vast area of fresh water allows for a genuine connection with the natural environment, inviting visitors to enjoy the serenity the place offers, whether on the bank or in contact with the water.
For a more complete experience at the site, it is useful to consider a few peculiarities. The river beach features an area with stones on the bank and in the water bed. Attention is advised to these elements, as well as to the possible presence of submerged tree trunks, which are part of the river ecosystem.
It is important to emphasize that this is an unsupervised bathing area. Therefore, prudence and personal care are fundamental for all who venture here, whether for a refreshing swim, fishing activities, or recreational water sports.
The name "Senhora da Ribeira" is not merely descriptive but carries a cultural and symbolic reference. The designation of the river beach comes from the existence of a small chapel, dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Ribeira (Our Lady of the Riverside), located in the vicinity of the site. This chapel lends a touch of tradition and history to the natural environment of the beach, linking the leisure space to a dimension of faith and local heritage.
The Senhora da Ribeira River Beach invites relaxation and enjoyment of the outdoors. Its vast area offers opportunities to unwind and enjoy the calm surroundings. For those wishing to share this experience with their four-legged companions, it is relevant to know that the presence of pets is usually permitted on site.
