Eusébio and António Sousa were two of the club's most famous players; both played for the biggest clubs in the country, the former with Benfica and the latter with both Porto and Sporting, and had long spells with the Portuguese national team; Sousa also later managed the team.
Beira-Mar also possesses futsal, basketball and boxing departments.

Beira-Mar was founded on 1 January 1922, and first reached the first division 39 years later, only lasting one single season. Until 1980, it would amass a further appearances in the top level, the longest spell being from 1971–74. In the 1976–77 season, former S.L. Benfica and Portugal legend Eusébio played briefly for the side, often being injured, as the campaign ended in relegation.
Returned again to the top flight in 1988, Beira-Mar spent most of the following years in that division. In 1999, eight years after playing the decisive match in the competition, the club reached the final of the Portuguese Cup, against S.C. Campomaiorense - Sporting Clube de Portugal, Benfica and F.C. Porto and all been ousted before the round of 16 - and won it 1–0 thanks to a Ricardo Sousa goal, the son of coach António Sousa, who played for the club during the 70's; the team would also be relegated at the season's end.
As the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was extinguished in 1999, Beira-Mar participated in the 1999–2000 UEFA Cup, losing 1–2 on aggregate to Dutch team Vitesse. In the domestic league, the club finished in second position in the second division and promoted immediately back. On 23 February 2002, Beira-Mar achieved a 3–2 away win against Porto, which was managed by a young José Mourinho: it would be the last home defeat for the manager for the following decade.
The return of Mário Jardel to Portugal to play for Beira-Mar was one of the biggest news in Portuguese football in the summer of 2006, as the 33-year old and former European Golden Shoe winner signed a one-year contract. The Brazilian scored in his official debut, a 2–2 home draw against Desportivo das Aves, but gradually lost his importance in the team, leaving in the following transfer window to a team in Cyprus; Beira-Mar would eventually be relegated, in a season which also included the sacking of manager Carlos Carvalhal and his replacement with Spaniard Francisco Soler, after the team signed a cooperation deal with Inverfutbol, a Spanish-based sporting company.[1]
In 2010, Beira-Mar returned to the first division after a three-year absence, finishing the season as champions.
As of 2 September, 2011. Note: Flags indicate national team as has been defined under FIFA eligibility rules. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
