Latest reviews on Viseu's beaches

Praia da Barra
8 Luis Sanchez

The beach offers a serene getaway with soft, smooth sand, a gentle breeze, and an expansive shoreline. Although I'm unsure about its summer atmosphere, it appears to be an ideal destination for unwinding and finding tranquility.

Pedras do Corgo
8 Emilio Santoro

The beach is truly exceptional, especially if you arrive before 9:00 AM and secure a spot in the parking lot. The beach is vast and offers ample space to relax and enjoy the sun, but it's best to avoid the volleyball pitch as stray balls can be a nuisance. The only downside is the unpredictable winds, so it's advisable to have a windscreen handy. It's worth noting that the restrooms are not accessible until the baywatch team arrives. Overall, it's a fantastic beach with a few minor caveats that are easy to manage.

Praia da Sereia
10 Elaborate Ease

What a splendid place to unwind and bask in the sun! The beach offers a tranquil atmosphere that is simply irresistible. Plus, you can even rent a tent to add to the experience. It's like having your own little haven on the shore. How delightful!

Praia da Baia
10 Natalya Petrovichova

The expansive sandy beach is brimming with surfers, offering a prime location for lessons and an intriguing spectacle of surfing schools in action. Though the ocean waters may be chilly, there are a few rocky lakes that provide a suitable spot for knee-deep wading, especially for children. The beach is abuzz with beach games and activities, adding to the lively atmosphere. Conveniently accessible from Porto's old town, the beach can be reached via the urban train line from either Campanha or Sao Bento station towards Espinho. The train stops directly on the beach, and the Andante card is valid for this line, which runs approximately every 30 minutes.

Praia de Angeiras Norte
8 Saraiya Kestenbaum

This beach is the perfect spot to unwind and bask in the sun, while also enjoying a leisurely stroll with your furry friends. However, if you're planning a visit on a Sunday afternoon, be mindful that dining options may be limited. During our visit, we only spotted one restaurant that was open, but unfortunately, it was already packed to the brim. Nonetheless, the breathtaking views and serene atmosphere of this beach make it a must-visit destination.
