About the beach

Praia do Verde Lago, also known as Verdelago, Praia da Vala or Praia do Braço, lies on the continuous stretch of sand between Praia da Alagoa, at Altura, and Praia Verde, in front of the Verdelago development. It is a dune-backed section of beach, reached by a boardwalk linked to the Altura seafront. In the bathing season it has lifeguards and a concession area with sunshades for hire, and it is part of the 2026 Accessible Beach programme, with bathing equipment and assistance for people with reduced mobility. The water is sampled at the Praia Verde monitoring point. Water quality was rated Excellent in 2025.
