  1. Fragas de São Simão

Casal de São Simão, Figueiró dos Vinhos

The beach is 15 minutes away on foot (by footpath) from the village of Casal de São Simão. The water of the Ribeira de Alge, which passes on the way to the Zêzere, is so clear that you can see the small stones in its interior. The abundance of laurels and cork oaks gives the air a comforting fragrance and the green of the surrounding mountains, which lead us to the Lousã mountains, envelops us in a beautiful setting. On site, there is a viewpoint so that you can fully enjoy the landscapes of the area. The river beach is located between two imposing cliffs, where climbing is practiced with several equipped routes, rappel or slide. The “smallest” stones are used as a solarium or diving board.
