Although it serves a small village about 13 km from Fundão, the Lavacolhos River Beach is well-equipped with infrastructure, offering a spacious lawn for sunbathing and children’s play, a children's area, grills and picnic tables, restrooms, and a bar with a terrace.

The waters of the Gardunha stream are ideal for swimming, diving, and canoeing.

Set against a backdrop of pine forests, this spot is a popular destination for leisure and enjoyment among residents of nearby villages and many emigrants who return in the summer.
