Rio Alto Beach, Atlantic beach in Estela, Portugal
Located along the northern Portuguese coast, Rio Alto Beach extends across a sandy shoreline bordered by extensive dunes and agricultural farmland.
The beach emerged as a central location for naturist activities in northern Portugal during the late 20th century, despite never receiving official designation.
Rio Alto Beach represents northern Portugal's connection to naturist practices, with regular gatherings occurring between May and October each year.
Visitors can access the beach through Estrada Nacional 131 and park their vehicles near the Aguçadora football field entrance.
The beach sits adjacent to Estela Golf Club, where natural dunes create a distinctive boundary between the sandy shore and the golf course.
