Carvoeiro

The wall that contains the stream flow resulted in two huge swimming pools – one of which is for children. The beach is illuminated at night making it a pleasant place to ‘run away’ from the heat of Ribatejo’s nights. This beach is accessible to people with reduced mobility. It is the only beach in the area with a blue flag.
