Praia das Fontaínhas
Praia das Fontaínhas is mapped and sourced in Portugal; today’s suitability is a separate question. Read current conditions and local restrictions before choosing swimming or another coastal activity. Keeping those layers apart makes the answer easier to verify and safer to update when conditions move. The dossier supports the following stable observations and leaves unknowns visible. The source dossier records pebblestone at the shoreline. The structured entity description for this point is “beach in Paço de Arcos Portugal.” The recorded map position is 38.68713, -9.30154, which helps distinguish this beach from similarly named places. The map relationship links this beach with Praia de Paço de Arcos at about 0.6 km, Praia de Santo Amaro at about 0.8 km and Praia da Torre at about 2.3 km; use them as active backups if the first conditions disappoint. Treat the final choice as a live comparison. The essential same-day checks are water temperature, wind direction, wave conditions, currents, UV and local authority notices. Do not override a warning because the forecast looked favourable; local closures and lifeguard directions are the controlling advice. A good decision is specific to the activity. A beach can suit a walk or a short stop while being a poor swimming choice under the same wind, swell or water-quality conditions.
