Praia do Dafundo, Sand beach in Oeiras, Portugal
Praia do Dafundo is a sandy beach along the Tagus River in Oeiras, with a gentle slope and natural dunes shaping its appearance. A small stream divides the sandy area into two distinct sections, each with its own character.
The beach formed naturally along the Tagus through sediment buildup over time and has kept its basic shape through the decades. The stream that runs through it has played an important role in shaping how the sand is arranged.
Local people come here to walk in the morning and evening, enjoying a quieter side of the Tagus waterfront away from busier tourist spots. The place serves as a simple gathering point for those seeking peace along the river.
You can reach the beach by walking along the Passeio Marítimo de Algés or the Ciclovia Ribeirinha de Algés, both paths lead directly to the sand. Wear comfortable shoes as the paths have varying surfaces and some areas may be uneven.
Unlike many nearby beaches, this place has no beach bars or shower facilities, keeping it very natural and quiet. The absence of standard infrastructure and low visitor numbers create a genuinely peaceful setting.
