Riberia is not comfortable for swimming, however, it is always crowded. Among the visitors there are especially many local children who gladly splash in the shallow waters. After long walks around the city and surrounding area tourists often have a rest here.
When is it better to go
The beach season in Portugal lasts from the beginning of June until September, when the air temperature reaches +30°C and the water temperature - +19°C. It should be remembered that the Atlantic Ocean does not warm up well and cools quickly, lovers of a more comfortable temperature can swim in natural stone pools, which are quite numerous on the coast.
