The Praia + Acessível (Beach + Accessible) award, launched in 2009 by the Portuguese Agency for the Environment (APA), Tourism of Portugal, and Instituto Nacional para a Reabilitação (INR), awards beaches that offer accessible features for people with disabilities. 

These beaches provide accessible pathways leading to the beach itself, adapted toilets and changing rooms, amphibious chairs for entering the water, and dedicated parking spaces for people with disabilities. Additionally, many beaches offer beach wheelchairs and lifeguards trained in assisting people with disabilities.
