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.

Malhao

This beach is truly stunning. Even during the peak summer season, there is plenty of private space to enjoy. The landscape is breathtaking, with an array of plants and vegetation scattered throughout the dunes. The cliffs made of vibrant colored stones are a sight to behold, proving that nature can surpass even the most imaginative of paintings. Access to the beach is made easy by a beautifully crafted wooden footbridge, which also offers a delightful circular path with stunning viewpoints.

This beach is quite captivating, featuring a blend of rocks, sand, and serene trees made of stones. Although the waves are impressive, the presence of rocks in the water can make it quite hazardous. Nonetheless, we found the beach and its surroundings to be quite enjoyable.

Angra da Cerva
10 Noralie

This is one of the beaches I love the most in Portugal. It's absolutely breathtaking. The hike down is a bit short and dangerous, so I wouldn't recommend it for young children, but it's definitely worth it. The cliffs and ravines also offer some great hiking opportunities. I highly recommend visiting, just please remember to keep it clean.
