About the Beach
Praia de Torreira is one of the most accessible beaches on the Ria de Aveiro, set on a sand strip between the Atlantic and the lagoon, with bathing options on both sides. The calm and authenticity of this small fishing village, with its harbour and tradition of moliço harvesting, offer a genuinely Aveiro-region experience. The colourful moliceiro boats of the lagoon are an iconic image of the place.
