Praia do Relógio forms part of the urban seafront of Figueira da Foz, next to Avenida 25 de Abril and the Torre do Relógio, which gives the place its name. Tourist sources describe it as a beach with a very wide sandy area, lifeguard supervision, parking, food and drink services, and nautical activities. The beach appears in APA’s official bathing-water listings for 2026 under the name Figueira da Foz, covering Alto do Viso, Molhe Norte and Relógio, with a bathing season indicated from 13 June to 13 September. In addition to bathing use, the sand is occasionally used as the setting for large-format festivals and concerts, such as RFM SOMNII; these uses are occasional and depend on the organisation of each event.
