Paimogo Beach or Praia de Paimogo is a beach with boat ramp in Lourinhã, Portugal.
The boat ramp can be access by the road passing Forte de Nossa Senhora dos Anjos de Paimogo. This Fort of Paimogo, also known as the Fort of Our Lady of the Angels of Paimogo, stands in a dominant position on Paimogo beach near the town of Lourinhã, Lisbon District in Portugal Constructed in 1674, it ceased to serve a military function in 1834 and is now under threat from coastal erosion. The fort presents an almost unique example of a fort from that period that has not undergone subsequent modification.
The location of Paimogo fort is close to areas of cliffs where dinosaur nesting took place. Several fossilized eggs and remains of theropod embryos, sauropod Zby atlanticus and other animals of the Upper Jurassic period have been found there, some of which can be seen in the Lourinhã museum.
In 1980 there were plans for the fort to be used as a centre for tourists interested in the dinosaur fossils but the plan was not advanced. Some repairs were carried out in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including erosion protection. In the second half of 2004 ownership was signed over to the Lourinhã Council, which planned to incorporate the fort in a proposed “Dinosaur Route” planned by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests. However, there has been little visible progress and erosion continues to be a potential problem.
Paimogo is an amazingly beautiful and quiet beach. The water is calm and great for swimming, if you don’t mind it a bit cold. A great walk from Praia da Areia Branca.
