Melides beach, Atlantic beach in Alentejo, Portugal.
The extended sandy shoreline of Melides Beach spans between the Atlantic Ocean and a coastal lagoon, creating a natural barrier between both water bodies.
The beach area underwent significant changes after the 1755 earthquake and tsunami, which led to the transformation of the local fishing port into agricultural lands.
The surrounding region attracts international artists and designers who establish studios and residences, contributing to an emerging creative community near the coastline.
The beach features essential facilities including showers, parking spaces, a restaurant, and a beach bar, with water temperatures ranging between 17 and 18 degrees Celsius.
Melides Beach received the EEC Blue Flag certification, indicating high environmental standards while maintaining its natural state without commercial development.
