Areia Branca beach is located between Peniche and Santa Cruz and is a real gem on Center of Portugal's west coast. This magnificent beach, ideal for surfers, forms a kind of natural amphitheatre, which makes it unique.
As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Areia Branca beach developed into a popular summer holiday destination. Over the decades, this sunny beach has managed to retain its flair and uniqueness. Areia Branca is a real must for surfers and bodyboarders and attracts many visitors in search of wild landscapes off the beaten track - far away from the tourist crowds and the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Today, this beach is also the venue for the iconic Sons na Areia music festival, which takes place every year in August and features the new generation of Portuguese musicians. The Alta restaurant, which offers a breathtaking view of Areia Branca, is also worth a visit.
