Latest reviews on Odemira's beaches

Praia da Franquia
10 Kostas Papadopoulos

This stunning beach boasts a vast expanse of soft sand and an array of exciting sporting activities. From kayaking to stand-up paddling, there's no shortage of things to do. However, even a simple stroll or sunbathing session is a delightful experience on this beach, reminiscent of the famous Copacabana. Across the river, accessible by ferry boat, lies the equally beautiful Furnas beach. The Mira River meets the Atlantic Ocean at this location, providing the option to swim in the relatively warm river water or the cooler Atlantic with authentic surf.

If you search diligently, you'll discover charming bungalows or cozy rooms for as low as $50.00 € per night on local farms. I wholeheartedly endorse this location and urge you to visit!
