Since 2004 it has been awarded the Blue Flag consecutively, which is a unique case among European river beaches. It is recognized as Accessible Beach for people with reduced mobility.

It has a childrens playground and the possibility of renting canoes and pedalos. The sand is fine and has pebbles rolled on the bank for more pleasant contact with the bottom. Water normally above 22ºC on the surface. There is a large lawn to be used as a solarium. Car parking by the beach. All telephone networks work. It is a busy place especially on the weekends of July and August. Very pretty to walk around the rest of the year. It has two support bars.

Fraga da Pegada Beach was now distinguished in a Portuguese vote promoted by the  Guide to River Beaches  and focused on all the fluvial beaches from north to south of the country classified by APA - Portuguese Environment Agency and a selection of the best unclassified bathing areas. according to the municipality.
