Twenty-two people have died on Portuguese beaches since May. This number represents a significant increase compared to the same period in previous years, which has raised concerns about safety in Portugal's coastal areas.
The deaths occurred over several months, covering different beaches across the country. Authorities are analyzing the circumstances of each incident to identify patterns and possible risk factors.
Maritime and civil protection authorities have been reinforcing safety warnings and measures on beaches, warning swimmers about the dangers associated with the sea, especially during the bathing season.
This toll concerns the responsible authorities, who are urging the public to respect the instructions of lifeguards and avoid areas identified as dangerous.
