Praia de Algés
Praia de Algés is a sandy beach located in Algés, presented as the closest beach to the center of Lisbon. It has a medium-sized area framed by two piers. The Ribeira de Algés flows out in a canalized form near the southeast pier. About 300 m in front of the sand, at the end of another pier, is the VTS tower of the Coordination and Control Center of the Port of Lisbon, a building designed by architect Gonçalo Byrne and awarded the municipal architecture prize Conde de Oeiras. The beach is marked as unsupervised. The listed alternatives, such as Praia do Bico da Calha or Praia de São João, are several kilometers away.
About this spot
Algés is a very urban choice, interesting if the proximity to Lisbon matters more than an isolated setting. The sand, piers, and VTS tower structure the location; supervision is noted as absent.
