Praia de São Jacinto, Atlantic beach in São Jacinto, Portugal.
The beach stretches for 3.1 kilometers along the southern end of a peninsula, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Ria de Aveiro estuary.
The natural reserve designation of São Jacinto beach has preserved the original coastal ecosystem and primary dunes since its establishment in the 20th century.
The beach maintains strong connections to local fishing traditions, with the nearby São Jacinto village supporting maritime activities throughout the year.
Visitors can access the beach via regular ferry service from Aveiro or by driving through Torreira, with lifeguard services available from June to September.
The beach location near the northern pier of Barra de Aveiro creates distinct sand patterns on each side due to the altered coastal sediment transport.
