Torreira is best known within Portugal for its long Atlantic beach beside the Ria de Aveiro lagoon. The settlement lies in the municipality of Murtosa, on low-lying land where dunes and pine woods separate the ocean from the lagoon’s calm channels and marshes. This contrast shapes the area: Atlantic surf and broad sands are close to sheltered water used by small craft. Across the Ria de Aveiro, brightly painted moliceiro boats recall the former collection of moliço, aquatic vegetation once used as fertiliser. Torreira is a relaxed place to experience Portugal’s lagoon coast. Browse additional webcams from the Aveiro area to extend your view of the Ria de Aveiro coast.
