Algés Beach, Urban beach in Oeiras, Portugal.

Algés Beach is a sandy shore between two piers where the Ribeira de Algés river meets the Atlantic Ocean. The cove features gentle sloping sand suitable for swimming and is surrounded by residential neighborhoods.

The area was once a traditional fishing village before transforming into a modern coastal suburb during the 20th century. This development brought buildings and infrastructure to replace the original fishing economy.

Locals use this beach for swimming and relaxation, especially on weekends when families gather to spend time together.

The beach has showers, restrooms, and loungers to make your visit comfortable. Direct train links to central Lisbon make it easy to reach from the city.

The Torre VTS, a maritime traffic control tower standing about 300 meters offshore, won an architectural award for its design. This unusual structure shapes the view from the shore.
