Cais Flutuante de Monsaraz

Cais Flutuante de Monsaraz is the mooring pier and anchorage of Centro Náutico de Monsaraz, a municipal nautical leisure centre built on a 1.25-hectare peninsula on the shore of the Grande Lago Alqueva, close to the medieval village of Monsaraz in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz. The centre was opened in July 2010 and is located near the hamlet of Telheiro.

The anchorage has a mooring structure designed for medium-sized tourist boats, and there is a slipway where boats can be launched and hauled out of the water. No information is published about a VHF channel, entrance depth, or guest berth fees.

The site offers a bar/restaurant, a playground with a slide and swings, and a picnic area with tables. There are public toilets and public showers, a recycling/waste station, and a parking area outside the centre itself, as vehicle access and parking within the grounds are restricted.

Within walking or a short driving distance from the pier you'll find the Blue Flag river beach Praia Fluvial de Monsaraz with a floating pool structure in the lake, and the fortified medieval village of Monsaraz crowns the hill nearby. Tie up here and enjoy both the lively boating scene on Lake Alqueva and the historic atmosphere of the village above.
