Nearby Casas da Ribeira there are plenty of options of river beaches, we’d like to introduce you Lapa dos Dinheiros, a river beach just 12 kilometres away from our village. You may find directions at the end of this post.
Stunning views are waiting for you at Lapa dos Dinheiros, with the water course surrounded by a green cloak that rises high. It’s pure and transparent water runs from Ribeira da Caniça, a runnel of River Alva, descending the mountain and forming waterfalls along its path. One of them, Caniça’s waterfall, is a beautiful sight located just a few steps away from the river beach.
The river beach is formed by a human made dam that allows the water to gather in a beautiful swimming pool with a big rounded stone on one of its edges. The cold water is perfect for the hot summer days in the mountain. This is a guarded and accessible beach during the summer season, from July 1st to August 31st, and has a small beach bar, sunbed rental and public bathroom.
Its surroundings are amazing with hundred year old chestnut trees called Souto da Lapa inviting to a hike and to relax under it’s shade in warm days. Besides the waterfalls there’s a cave system, buraco da Moura, that can be visited nearby.
Open from July 1st to August 31st
