Praia do Carvalhal, Atlantic sand beach in Carvalhal, Portugal
The 1.4-kilometer beach presents long wooden walkways connecting the parking areas to the sand through preserved natural dunes.
The beach developed alongside the traditional rice cultivation in adjacent fields, which have shaped the local agricultural landscape since the 1940s.
Fishermen from Carvalhal maintain their centuries-old tradition of small-scale fishing, launching their boats directly from the beach at sunrise.
The beach provides monitored swimming areas from June 15 to September 15, with dedicated zones for water sports and designated rest sections.
Two natural lagoons, Lagoa Formosa and Lagoa Travessa, border the beach, creating distinct ecosystems where multiple bird species nest.
