About the Beach
What is Praia do Bom Sucesso 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 Óbidos.
Praia do Bom Sucesso Beach, also known as Praia do Vau Beach, is located on the side of Lagoa de Óbidos1, beside the bar.
The sand assumes an unusual shape, coming from east until the lagoon bar where it gets wider and by stretching 1 Km south, after going around the cliff.
Sea waters at the inner side of the lagoon are tranquil, except during high tide near the bar, where strong rip currents can form.
Access is granted by leaving Autoestrada 8 2 on exit 14, crossing Amoreira and Vau villages.
