This site, located in the Alentejo region of Portugal, is occasionally used for dune soaring. The maximum takeoff altitude is 30 meters with a westward orientation. The real Lagoa de Melides is a few kilometers south, but flights from this spot are often logged under its name. Many of these logged flights appear to be paramotor flights, though coastal soaring should be possible here. The site record is 13.8 km. If you have more information about this location, please email info@paraglidingspots.com. Access: The Praia de Melides is about 20 km north of Sines. It allows for cliff soaring with west winds.
