The river beaches of Fraga da Pegada and Ribeira, the latter distinguished as one of the 7 Wonders – Beaches of Portugal, are one of the great attractions of the Terras de Cavaleiros Geopark.

Nationally recognized, both have consecutively been awarded the ABAE Blue Flag and the “Gold Quality” award by Quercus, guaranteeing standards of environmental and bathing excellence.

These spaces perfectly combine the leisure of a bathing area with breathtaking natural scenery. They are an excellent alternative to coastal beaches, offering exceptional conditions for peaceful, active vacations in full contact with nature.

The sandy beaches and large garden areas are an excellent invitation to relax or practice sports. Among the various leisure options, the support bars, volleyball and soccer fields, canoeing, walking trails, bike karts, inflatables, among other activities, stand out.

The water, with an average surface temperature of 24°C, invites you to take long dips. And for greater safety and accessibility, all bathing areas are supervised by lifeguards and equipped to accommodate people with reduced mobility.
