Praia Artificial de Aveiro

Praia Artificial de Aveiro is a unique artificial beach located close to the city center of Aveiro. The beach is known for its warmer water, which can reach temperatures of 23 degrees, and its clean, good quality sand. However, access to the beach area requires a ticket, which is very affordable. The beach is equipped with a bar area, which can be accessed without a ticket. Parking is available, albeit limited, and the beach can be reached by following a small dirt road in front of a floating bar. Despite its proximity to the city, the beach remains a relatively unknown spot, even to the residents of Aveiro. The beach is part of a larger project that aims to make the most of natural resources for the benefit of the municipality and its citizens. This includes the creation of differentiated activities such as a salt flats, a spa, and a shop selling locally produced products, including a variety of salts. While the cost-benefit ratio of these amenities is debatable, the beach and its associated facilities are well thought out and offer a pleasant experience. However, the reduced area of the beach and the spa may necessitate higher prices to ensure profitability. Despite this, the level of service and cleanliness at the beach is commendable.
