Praia de Fragosa, Sand beach in Aver-o-Mar, Portugal.
Fragosa Beach extends along the Atlantic coast with white sand and scattered rock formations, featuring the Forcado Islet 400 meters from the shore.
The beach has maintained its role as a central location for local fishing activities and seaweed collection, supporting traditional maritime practices through generations.
Local fishermen continue their daily routines at Fragosa Beach, collecting seaweed and practicing sustainable fishing methods according to Portuguese coastal traditions.
The beach provides monitored swimming areas with lifeguards from June 15 to September 15, along with designated parking spaces near Rua Tia Adelina Coelho.
The beach contains a protected grassland system of sand dunes that serves as a natural barrier between the ocean and inland areas.
