Praia da Física

The beach extends for approximately 590 meters along the Portuguese coast, featuring golden sand and natural rock formations framing the shoreline.

The beach received its name 'Física' during the early 20th century when Portuguese scientists conducted oceanographic studies in this coastal area.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Praia da Física, setting out their boats during early morning hours following centuries-old methods.

Visitors can access the beach through Avenida do Atlântico, with designated parking areas available from June through September during lifeguard service hours.

The beach sits within a microclimate zone where summer temperatures remain constant at 28°C while surrounding areas experience higher temperature fluctuations.
