The beach offers a stunning vista of the lake and the western shore, and it also features a convenient take-away counter and a shop. Additionally, there are recreational amenities such as a floating trampoline, a diving tower reaching a height of 3-4 meters (?), and a stable raft. The grass was meticulously maintained and had a vibrant green hue, providing a delightful spot to relax and stretch out. Moreover, the water is shallow and gradually sloping, making it safe for children to enjoy. Furthermore, there is a playground with fascinating structures that kids will find appealing.

8 Barbarella de Pinho

This fluvial beach is almost perfect, but the area is small for the amount of people that visit. There is a lack of grass and the tall trees block the sun, making it difficult to dry off if you get wet. It's important to note that this is a lake, so there are pebbles on the lake floor. Additionally, the path to the beach is quite steep, so small children must be carried or in a stroller. The water is clean and the temperature is pleasant (around 20°). There are garbage bins for different disposals and five grills. The view is magnificent and there is plenty of space for kids, SUP, picnics, etc!
