Summary:

  • Eight beaches between Tróia and Melides have conditional access, affecting locals and tourists

  • Two beaches are under controlled access, with one completely interdicted due to nearby developments

  • The situation highlights the growing tension between development and conservation in Portugal's coastal areas

Between Tróia and Melides, beachgoers face restricted access to some of Portugal's most beautiful coastal spots. A recent report highlights that eight beaches have conditional access, two have controlled access, and one is completely off-limits. This situation arises due to the development of residential projects near these pristine locations.

The restrictions have raised concerns among locals and tourists alike, who fear that the natural beauty and accessibility of these beaches are being compromised for private development. The balance between tourism, conservation, and private interests is becoming increasingly delicate in these areas.
