Praia Fluvial do Marmeleiro
The river beach of Marmeleiro was born from the recovery of a dam for irrigation. Surrounded by alders, poplars and fig trees, whose silhouettes are reflected in the waters, this place makes the best use of the watercourse of the Isna river, in the vicinity of the village of Marmeleiro. In the surrounding area, there is an extensive beach and concrete tables and benches. The place has a river area for children and another for adults, but there is always the possibility of bathing in the rest of the river. This easily accessible and uncrowded beach area is also suitable for fishing enthusiasts or for those who enjoy a visit to the many water mills that are located along the course of the river. Although it does not have many support infrastructures, the river beach of Marmeleiro is worth visiting for the extraordinary natural surroundings and is excellent for those who are looking for a less crowded beach (Praias Fluviais Guide 2011).
