3 hours from Coimbra, there is a beach with a "floating pool" in the water and where you can sleep in a bungalow surrounded by nature

Beira Baixa hosts a singular tourist destination that is about three hours from Coimbra, offering visitors an experience that combines beach and pool in an unusual way. The main highlight of this place is a pool that floats directly on the water, allowing swimmers a unique way to cool off during the hottest days.

In addition to the floating pool, the space offers various water activities, including the possibility of kayaking. This recreational offering makes the destination appealing both for those seeking relaxation and for those who prefer more dynamic activities during their stay.

For overnight stays, the location offers bungalows strategically placed in the middle of nature. These accommodation units allow guests to wake up surrounded by natural landscapes, offering an experience of direct contact with the surrounding environment.

This destination represents a differentiating proposal in the tourism landscape of Beira Baixa, combining elements of aquatic leisure with accommodation in the heart of nature, in a location relatively accessible from Coimbra.
