About the Beach
What is Praia da Malhada 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 Lourinhã.
Praia da Malhada Beach presents a sand with a reasonable extension, situated in the north part of Praia da Areia Branca village. The north area hosts a rock mass which becomes immersed during high tide. Further south, the beach exhibits a seawall that goes along the cliff foot until Praia da Areia Branca Beach.
The access is done through a stairway on the south part which descends by a cliff signaled as being unstable due to the danger of landslides. During low tide it is possible to access the beach by walking the sand, coming from the south neighbour beach.
