Praia do Areal, Atlantic beach in Lourinhã, Portugal
The beach extends along the coastline with white sand shores bordered by steep cliffs and a small dune system in the northern section.
The beach sits within the Lourinhã region, where numerous paleontological discoveries have revealed important dinosaur fossils from the Late Jurassic period.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices along the shore, contributing to the supply of fresh seafood for regional Portuguese cuisine.
The beach provides monitored swimming areas with lifeguard services from June through September, along with parking facilities near the Lourinhã Aerodrome.
The northern access path leads to Praia do Mexilhoal, featuring natural rock formations that create distinctive tidal pools during low tide.
