Portugal’s secret freshwater swimming spots just got much easier to find.
A new app dedicated to the country’s river beaches has launched, helping travellers discover hidden inland escapes far from the Algarve’s packed coastline.
The app, aptly called River Beaches, arrives just as demand for quieter, nature-filled swimming destinations, away from busy beaches, continues to rise.
Available on the Apple App Store and soon to be launched on Google Play, it maps more than 130 lesser-known inland swimming spots with beaches, alongside photographs and descriptions.
How does the app help visitors to river beaches?
