A tiny 50 metres wide beach in the centre of Cascais, circled by cliffs, a few metres away from the Cascais train station and all town facilities such as the Pergola guest house 200 metres away. An esplanade with a snack bar overlooks the beach and the Albatroz Hotel borders it on the west.
It owes its name to the queen (‘Rainha’) Dona Amelia (1865-1951), the last queen of Portugal, who favoured it for her baths during the summer. The beach is watched during the summer season.
