About the Beach

Praia Fluvial de Pampilhosa da Serra sits on the Cabril reservoir on the River Zêzere, surrounded by the Serra da Lousã in one of the most isolated and natural areas of central Portugal. The cool, crystal-clear reservoir water and the surrounding mountain vegetation create a setting of great natural purity. This area, hit by the forest fires of 2017, has been recovering and reasserting itself as a nature-tourism destination.
