Rio Alto Beach

Rio Alto Beach

Rio Alto Beach ("Praia do Rio Alto" in Portuguese, lit. "High River Beach"; sometimes known as Estela Beach) is a beach situated near the city Póvoa de Varzim in the northern parish of Estela, in northern Portugal, 35 km north of Oporto. It is regarded as the central focal point of naturism in northern Portugal despite not having official status; although a group is attempting for the official status, the city council is studying the subject.

Strong northern winds, Atlantic cold water and lack of nearby services make it a suitable place for Portuguese local naturists in a region where the practice of naturism is still underdeveloped.
