The Amoreira beach in Aljezur municipality is one of the most beautiful beaches of Portugal; alias in this county there are other noteworthy as are the beaches of Bordeira-Carrapateira (****), to the Beloved (***), Arrifana (* **) Odeceixe (**) and Monte Cleric (***), the beach nearby Mulberry south through the hill part.
On the beach Amoreira can choose between swimming in the river (the river of Aljezur) you can do yourself on the beaches of Odeceixe and Bordeira-Carrickfergus, or dive into the sea. Located about eight kilometers from the northern entrance to the beach Aljezur Amoreira combines the best of both worlds: the beach and the sea itself a tributary river - which at low tide creates small "pools", a space that delights the brats .
The stream of Aljezur form here a lagoon-estuary system of natural beauty and other unusual beaches. Behind the long sandy, another landscape that will thinning in this region: dunes. This dune field ends in a salt marsh habitat installed on the banks of the river Alzejur.Integrada in the Natural Park of Southwest Alentejo and Costa Vicentina (****), Mulberry enjoys the beach, also in the natural landscape, the confluence of river and sea - shades of green wet marsh dominate the southern slope, in contrast to the black cliffs that cut through the beach to the north. Behind is yellowish with long sandy dunes.
In the area of marsh exist, for example, otter s, heron - gray or O s colorful kingfishers .
The northern rock formations that appear extraordinary that in itself is a cause rather than spectacular for a geologist, or one that has pretensions to be so entertaining is: The imposing cliffs are carved in schist and greywacke, gray color and sharply black or sometimes wine lees, cut by filonetes quartz, which are the result of faults and folds teaching.
Already the south, at the mouth of the Ribeira de Aljezur, is a lush hillside across the valley. With a outcrops of ancient fossilized dunes. With the low-water the show is really nice because it lays bare rock formations and fossils are formed extensive lagoons on the beach, where water has a temperature above 20 ° C. and where children play happily.
