Praia Baixa D' Areia, Sand beach in Lagoa, Portugal.
The 240-meter stretch of sand at Praia Baixa D'Areia extends between natural ravines, featuring clear waters along the São Miguel Island coastline.
The beach area has maintained its natural state since the early Portuguese settlements in the Azores, serving as a maritime reference point since the 1500s.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices near the beach, contributing to the supply of fresh seafood to the restaurants of Lagoa.
The beach operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, offering parking facilities and security services for visitors throughout the summer season.
The water temperature reaches 22 degrees Celsius in summer, creating favorable conditions for swimming between the protective natural rock formations.
