Praia da Adiça — naturist beach
Fonte da Telha, Almada, Setúbal
An extensive, largely undeveloped naturist shore south of Fonte da Telha. Also known as Praia da NATO, it combines an open Atlantic outlook with the wooded fossil-cliff landscape behind it.
Nudity policy
Clothing optional in the naturist area
Adiça is listed as an official naturist beach by the Portuguese Naturist Federation and identified as nude-bathing shore by Almada. It is distinct from Fonte da Telha’s central textile beach and the nearby restricted NATO property.
This is a public beach with mixed use; naturism does not make neighbouring streets, car parks or access paths clothing optional.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
Approach parking and amenities on adjoining textile beaches are described in the directions, rather than counted as facilities within the nude area.
Access & visiting
Public pedestrian beach access; no accommodation booking or naturist membership is required. Any car-park charge or seasonal transport reservation is separate.
Age & supervision
No numerical minimum age or explicit under-18 admission statement was found in the checked sources; this listing is not included in the Family friendly filter.
When to go
Open coast. Summer transport, parking arrangements and any seasonal beach services follow the current local timetable.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Approach Fonte da Telha by the public road and use the village beach access. The NATO installation is not a public entrance.
Parking
Park in lawful public spaces around Fonte da Telha or the signed approach areas. Do not enter military land or follow private-service roads to seek a shortcut.
Finding the naturist area
From Fonte da Telha’s main beach access walk south along the shore for roughly 2 km towards Adiça. The beach reference marks the nude shore, not a car park; remain on the public sand and normal established access paths.
