About the Beach
Praia Fluvial de Sabugal sits on the banks of the River Côa, next to the medieval Sabugal castle — one of Portugal's most distinctive fortresses, with a unique pentagonal keep. The cool waters of the Côa and the granite landscape of the Portuguese-Spanish borderland create a setting of great mountain authenticity. Proximity to the Côa Valley Archaeological Park, with the famous Palaeolithic rock engravings, enriches the visit culturally.
