<\/figure>\n\n\n\nImportant information about the best beaches in Porto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- The first thing you should know is that the water is COLD. As in I-feel-like-someone-is-breaking-my-bones kind of cold. Portugal has a reputation of being a beach destination because of the beaches in the Algarve<\/em>, which are\u2026 523 km away from Porto! The beaches in Porto are perfect to catch some sun, drink caipirinhas and surf. Naturally, if you don\u2019t mind the cold you can definitely try the water!
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- The beaches have a bodyguard during the high season \u2013 between 15th June and 15th September.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- All the beaches in Porto (the city) are easily accessible by bus or by tram. You can also access the International beach in Matosinhos by taking the subway.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- However, the most popular beaches in Porto (district) are the ones located in Gaia and in Le\u00e7a da Palmeira, which are not easily accessible by public transports. Therefore, you either stick to the beaches in Porto (city), loose 1h or 2h in public transports to get to the ones in the suburbs or simply rent a car<\/a> and get there in 15\/20 minutes.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- The Portuguese word for beach is praia<\/em> \u2013 I didn’t translate the name of the beaches in Porto because it would sound awkward, and locals wouldn\u2019t know what you are referring to anyway. Therefore when I write, for instance, Praia do Ourigo<\/em>, it means something like Ourigo beach. Which sounds totally weird, which is why I am sticking to Portuguese \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
