Summary:

  • Seven beaches in Grândola have restricted access due to tourism developments

  • Inspections found most areas comply with the law, but some irregularities exist

  • The balance between development and public access to natural areas is a key concern

Recent inspections in Grândola's coastal areas between Tróia and Melides have revealed that seven beaches are experiencing restricted access due to tourism developments.
