Latest reviews on Amares's beaches

Praia de Moledo
10 Ricardo Silva (RicS from RicS Studios)

The scenery at this location is absolutely breathtaking!

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.

Beach Carvalhido

If you're seeking a peaceful spot, it's best to avoid visiting during the summer months as it tends to be quite busy during that time.

Praia de Afife

The Long Beach is absolutely perfect, with its pristine white sand that's incredibly fine in texture.

Praia do Cabedelo
10 Marco Desiderio

This serene and pristine beach is a haven for sports enthusiasts, especially surfers, but it also offers a delightful retreat for those who revel in nature's splendor. The beach's tranquil and unspoiled setting is further enhanced by the natural coastal pine forests that surround it, just a stone's throw away. Whether you are seeking adventure or simply yearning for a peaceful escape, this beach has something for everyone.
