River beach Vila Pouca

The closest beach is at a artificial lake and water damn close to Vila Pouca. Ideal for young children that don’t want to sit in the car for too long. This trip will take you 10 minutes. In the lake the sections where it is safe to swim are very well marked. Take the route as if you would go to Mortágua. The first village you pass is Vila Pouca. When you leave Vila Pouca there is a roundabout. Here you go straight (instead of right, for Mortágua). After about 300 meter the road takes a sharp right turn. Here go straight into the dirt road. It ends up at the beach.
