Molhe Beach, Beach in Ferragudo, Portugal
Molhe Beach consists of two sandy segments divided by a 650-meter pier that extends into the Atlantic Ocean from the Rio Arade mouth.
The beach location marks the entrance to Rio Arade, which served as a fundamental maritime trade route since the establishment of coastal settlements.
The beach forms part of the regional identity of Ferragudo, where local fishermen continue their traditional practices near the harbor structures.
The beach provides designated swimming areas on both sides of the pier, with stairs descending from a cliff-top parking area for access.
The position of the pier creates two distinct swimming experiences: calm waters on the river side and stronger waves on the ocean side.
