About the Beach
What is Praia da Adiça Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Almada.
Praia da Adiça Beach, also known as Praia da N.A.T.O. Beach presents a very long sand of about 1,4 Km. It's located inside the perimeter of the Paisagem Protegida da Arriba Fóssil da Costa da Caparica1, in the sea front of the N.A.T.O. (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) military base.
Pines on top of the cliff paint the landscape with tones of green.
Located in a remote area, far from any civilization traces, this beach is an authentic paradise for nature lovers.
Access is granted by Estrada da N.A.T.O.2 where vehicles have to be left, proceeding throughout the sand trail by walk.
