Tips

Areão Beach, located in the municipality of Vagos (between Vagueira and Gafanha da Boa Hora), is a place of great natural beauty where the Aveiro Lagoon meets the Atlantic Ocean, albeit indirectly through the Mira Canal which ends nearby. It is a point of interest that is part of the Great Route of the Aveiro Lagoon.

Main Features:
Privileged Location: The beach is situated in a unique area, bordered by the ocean and the tranquil channels of the Aveiro Lagoon, providing a diverse landscape of sea and estuary.
Extensive Dune System: The beach is protected by an extensive and high dune system, whose preservation is guaranteed by wooden walkways designed with environmental concerns in mind.
Tranquility and Nature: Ideal for those seeking a quieter and more secluded beach, away from the busier beaches, making it a great place to relax and observe nature.
Birdwatching: The area is conducive to birdwatching due to its proximity to the lagoon and its habitats.
