Pego Fundo River Beach

Pego Fundo River Beach is a tranquil riverside spot located just a short walk from the historic center of Alcoutim, in the eastern Algarve. Nestled along the banks of the Guadiana River’s tributary, this Blue Flag beach offers calm, freshwater swimming in a natural setting surrounded by green hills. 

The beach is well-equipped with lifeguard supervision in summer, shaded picnic areas, showers, changing facilities, and a small café. Its gentle waters make it ideal for families, while the backdrop of Alcoutim’s castle and the nearby Spanish village of Sanlúcar de Guadiana adds a unique cultural charm. 

Whether you’re looking to cool off after exploring the town, spend a relaxing day in nature, or simply enjoy a peaceful swim, Pego Fundo River Beach is the perfect escape in the heart of the Algarve’s countryside.
