Praia Fluvial de Rapoula do Côa

The riverside features platforms extending into the water, complemented by grassy banks and wooded areas that create natural barriers along the shoreline.

The river marked a historical border between Portugal and the Kingdom of Castile, with the settlement established by Templars of Vila de Touro in the 12th century.

The name Rapoula derives from the Latin word 'rapa' for turnip, reflecting the agricultural heritage of this fertile region that produces rye, wheat, and potatoes.

The beach offers restrooms, showers, picnic areas with grills, a sports complex, and the Giestal bar, housed in a converted mill building.

During early August, the beach hosts 'Sunset Côa' festivities with music performances, water slides, and designated river jumping zones for entertainment.
