Alter do Chao beach
It is a paradise for a beach holiday near Santarem, which has its own, but very characteristic feature: the beach is visible only at low tide, and this is almost 6 months of the year out of a possible 12. At the same time, there is fresh water, but not muddy and polluted, as is commonly thought, but rather pure and blue-green. Because of this, access to the beach is possible only by air or by sea.
