About the Beach
What is Praia do Palheirão 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 Cantanhede.
Praia do Palheirão Beach displays a very expansive sand - about 5,4 Km - distributed by the counties of Cantanhede and Mira.
The vegetation of the Perímetro Florestal das Dunas de Cantanhede1 helps protecting the vast dune system that accompanies the whole beach.
