Pessegueiro River Beach

A real-life postcard and a faithful portrait of nature in its purest state.

The Pessegueiro River Beach is located in a picturesque mountain village setting. The church and rustic stone houses can be seen from the area. The village is crossed by a stream with clear and crystal-clear waters, making the Pessegueiro Village and its river beach a true living postcard and a faithful portrait of nature in its purest state.

The quality of the infrastructure available, as well as the water quality, have been recognized with two major national awards: the Quercus Gold Award and the Blue Flag, a symbol of environmental quality. At this beach, visitors can enjoy leisure and relaxation moments in the old mill, now restored, and those more active can explore the Pessegueiro Schist Walking Trail.
