About the Beach
What is Praia da Quinta do Lago 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 Loulé.
Praia da Quinta do Lago Beach presents a very long sand of about 3,6 Km. It's located at the sea side of Quinta do Lago luxury resort.
This place with plenty of fauna and flora has a vast dune system that keeps Ria Formosa1 (a valley eroded by rivers and with sandy islands which is flooded by the sea, turning the water into brackish) waters away from the Atlantic Ocean sea waters.
Nearby there's San Lorenzo Golf Course.
Access is achieved by a pedestrian wooden bridge with 319 meters long, over the west side of Ria Formosa.
This beach holds the Blue Flag since its European wide implementation, in 1987.
