Praia Fluvial de Alvoco das Várzeas

The beach stretches along the Alvoco River banks, featuring clear waters, green meadows, and a stone medieval bridge against the Serra da Estrela mountains.

The beach area developed near an ancient crossing point marked by a medieval bridge, which served as a vital connection for local communities through centuries.

The beach forms part of the Aldeias do Xisto network, a collection of traditional villages preserving Portuguese rural architecture and mountain lifestyle traditions.

The beach provides accessible facilities from 10:00 to 23:00 daily, including amphibious wheelchairs, braille information, restrooms, and a restaurant with regional dishes.

The location combines river swimming with mountain views and offers direct access to the Caminhos do Xisto hiking trails through schist stone villages.
