About the Beach
What is Praia da Figueira 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 Vila do Bispo.
Praia da Figueira Beach presents a wide and medium size sand.
At east, during low tide, one may reach two different sandy areas of smaller dimensions.
At the top of the east cliff are the Ruínas do Forte de Vera Cruz1, from the seventeenth-century.
This is the place where the Ribeiro da Figueira2 empties.
The access is via a partially tarred road coming from Figueira village.
