Playa de Cheles

The sandy beach extends along the shoreline of Alqueva Reservoir, offering grassy areas and designated swimming zones for visitors to enjoy water activities.

The creation of Playa de Cheles followed the construction of Alqueva Dam in 2002, which formed Western Europe's largest artificial lake spanning 83 kilometers.

Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices in the surrounding dehesa landscape, where cork oak trees and Mediterranean vegetation define the territory.

The beach provides facilities including parking spaces, adapted toilets, children's playgrounds, picnic zones, and a beach bar open from 10:00 to 17:00.

An inclined plane at the entrance ensures complete wheelchair accessibility throughout the beach area, with uniform non-slip pavements and adapted furniture.
