Rocas River Beach
river beaches
An environment in which dreams and reality are combined to perfection.
The Rocas River Beach is a leisure, entertainment and recreation complex located on a lake almost 1 km wide, right in the heart of Castanheira de Pera. An island in the centre of the river beach, a wave pool (the largest in the country), an artificial lake and a centuries-old bridge provide an environment in which dreams and reality are combined to perfection.

The expanses of clear water of the Pera River wash against the beach, forming an enchanting spot where tropical palm trees coexist in harmony with the Serra da Lousã mountains looming above. You can also enjoy a trip in a rowing boat or a pedalo and spend the night in one of the sailing boats moored in the marina, letting yourself be rocked by the gentle rolling of the river current, or in one of the bungalows standing on the bank of the lake, with a wonderful view over the huge mirror of water.
