The natural beauty of the Portuguese
coast is still almost intact at Osso da Baleia Beach, Pombal.
This beach is classified as a
“Golden Beach” because
it preserves the ecological balance, making possible the touristic use while respecting the existing environmental order.
This distinction has also the purpose of educate and sensibilise the population about the environment, warning the citizens
to the value and importance of caring and defending the natural environments.
It also received the award of “Bandeira Azul” (Blue Flag”) because of the good quality
of its waters and the award of “accessible Beach” for its facilities allowing disabled and handicapped people
to come to the beach and go for a dip, such as: pedestrian access, organized car park, access to the bathing area, wood runners
on the sand, adapted toilets and access to a First Aid Room
