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.

Praia da Torreira

8 Niklas Andersson.

Venturing a bit further away from the bustling main beach, one can witness the fishermen hard at work, while the seagulls put on a show in the hundreds. Their fierce battles over fish and territory are a fascinating sight to behold. The beach boasts a vast expanse of fine, powdery sand that stretches out as far as the eye can see, while the sparkling sea beckons you to take a dip. The beauty of this place is even more pronounced during the off-season, when the crowds thin out. However, it's important to exercise caution when dealing with the mighty Atlantic, as it can be unpredictable at times.

Piscina Natural La Cantera

10 Jasper Scott

Wow! I cannot speak highly enough about this place. The reservoir is absolutely massive, offering a few fantastic deep areas perfect for diving. The sandy beach is blessed with abundant sunshine throughout the day (so I highly suggest bringing a beach umbrella). Without a doubt, I will be returning to this place in the near future.

Praia da Costa Nova

10 Z R.

When journeying through Aveiro, a must-see destination is the captivating beach of Costa Nova. The charming houses lining the shore are a delightful sight, bursting with a spectrum of vibrant hues. Take a leisurely stroll along the sandy expanse or dive into the crystal-clear waters for a refreshing swim. This beach is a true gem, radiating natural beauty that is not to be missed.

Praia de Mira

10 LenaR Silva

I really enjoy this beach town! It's peaceful during the winter months but still has its charm. The majority of the restaurants, shops, and bars remain open, and they're all conveniently located within walking distance.
