About the Beach
Praia Fluvial do Agroal is a river beach of great beauty, on a reservoir surrounded by limestone, where the water has a characteristic emerald-blue shade typical of areas with dissolved calcite. This natural phenomenon gives its water an extraordinary colour that surprises first-time visitors. The rarity of this water colour makes it one of the most photographed river destinations in Portugal.
