Best Sandy Beaches

Stretching along the Atlantic coast from Porto's Foz do Douro to Vila Nova de Gaia, these sandy beaches are connected by an extensive network of wooden boardwalks. The coastline features a mix of rocky outcrops, historic landmarks like the Chapel of Senhor da Pedra, and traditional fishing villages such as Aguda. While the northern beaches in Porto are characterized by granite boulders and 1930s architecture, the southern stretches in Gaia offer wide sandy expanses suited for surfing and coastal cycling.
