Praia fluvial do Vau, River beach in Canelas e Espiunca, Portugal
Praia fluvial do Vau stretches along the Paiva River banks, featuring natural rock formations and clear waters surrounded by dense forest vegetation.
The riverside area has served as a traditional gathering place for local communities since the early development of Arouca municipality's recreational spaces.
The beach location interconnects with regional hiking paths and nature trails, forming part of the broader outdoor recreational network in northern Portugal.
The beach maintains year-round accessibility with 24-hour entry, providing natural swimming areas and designated spaces for picnics near the water.
