About the Beach
What is Praia da Murtinheira Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Figueira da Foz.
Praia da Murtinheira Beach discloses a very extensive sand - about 1,5 Km - which stretches towards south until the Serra da Boa Viagem1 foot.
An often rough sea is the main characteristic of this beach, hence attracting many surfers to its shoreline.
During low tide a passage to a thin strip of sand in the south part is exposed, right beneath the quarry.
The access is done by Itinerário Complementar 12.
