About the Beach

What is Praia do Forte de Santa Catarina 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 do Forte de Santa Catarina Beach acquired this name for being situated just few meters away from the 1.
The reduced size sand is flanked by two piers: the longest at north, part of the Rio Mondego2 bar and another one to the south, having a shorter length.
For being in the interior of the river bar, this beach presents its bathers with serene waters.
