Bela Vista — Praia 19 naturist area
Costa da Caparica, Almada, Setúbal
A long Atlantic beach with a well-established naturist stretch towards its southern end. The dune-backed shore offers room for a local clothes-free walk beyond the busier concession area.
Nudity policy
Clothing optional in the naturist area
Almada identifies the southern section as the naturist Praia 19 area. The northern lifeguarded concession is distinct; clothing is optional within the established nude section rather than across every part of Bela Vista.
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.
