Praia da Foz, Atlantic beach at Ericeira, Portugal
The beach extends along a deep valley where the Lizandro River meets the Atlantic Ocean, creating a wide sandy area with wooden platforms and walkways.
The beach has evolved from a traditional fishing location into a recognized destination within Portugal's first World Surfing Reserve established in the Ericeira region.
Local surfing schools contribute to the beach's status as a learning center, where experienced instructors teach water sports throughout the summer season.
The beach provides seasonal lifeguard services, changing rooms, showers, toilets, first aid stations, and rental facilities for beach equipment and surfing gear.
During low tide, the meeting point of river and ocean creates natural shallow pools, while the beach offers different wave conditions for varied surfing experiences.
