Praia da Pedra do Ouro

The beach extends along 1.9 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, featuring wide sandy areas bordered by dark cliffs and natural rock formations.

The name originates from the discovery of golden-colored ammonite fossils embedded within the geological formations of the coastal cliffs.

Local restaurants near the beach serve traditional Portuguese seafood dishes, reflecting the maritime heritage of the Alcobaça region.

The beach maintains lifeguard services from June 15 to September 15, with facilities including restrooms, parking areas, and a beachfront café.

During low tide, natural pools form among the rocks, creating protected areas for swimming separate from the open ocean waters.
