Praia Fluvial da Cascalheira is a river beach along the Alva's banks where trees provide natural shade and shelter from the sun. The water flows gently, creating a pleasant spot for swimming and wading.

The area has long served as a gathering place for locals to swim and wash by the river. Over time it was formally developed and maintained as a public bathing area.
