About Praia da Duna Alta
Praia da Duna Alta is a wild Atlantic beach backed by high dunes on the Aveiro coast near Vagos, in central Portugal. Visitors praise its surf and its quiet, natural setting, and a section of the long sandy shore is used as a clothing-optional area where nude bathers are accepted. There are few facilities, and the Atlantic here can have strong currents, so swim with care. Respect the dunes by using the marked paths.
This Portugal naturist beach is a clothing-optional place in a traditionally tolerated setting. Families are welcome.
