Azenhas do Guadiana

Azenhas do Guadiana beach extends along the banks of the Guadiana River, featuring a mix of sand and pebbles against a backdrop of rocky cliffs.

The beach takes its name from the ancient water mills that once operated along this section of the Guadiana River during Portuguese medieval times.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices at this beach, maintaining connections to centuries-old fishing methods in the Guadiana River.

Visitors can access the beach via a marked path from Mértola, with parking available at designated areas near the riverbank entrance.

The beach provides a rare freshwater swimming experience in a river that marks the border between Portugal and Spain.
