Located in the town of Lavra, in the municipality of Matosinhos, Praia Angeiras Sul is integrated into the coastal area of the Angeiras urbanization. This bathing area offers direct contact with the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, the beach is naturally delimited by the Ribeira da Certagem, also known as Ribeira da Carreira, which flows into the sea, creating a gentle boundary to the landscape.
Praia Angeiras Sul is characterized by an extensive stretch of clear and inviting sand. One of the most striking elements of its landscape are the rock formations that punctuate the sand and extend into the sea, creating a unique scenery. The environment is frequently marked by the presence of predominant northerly winds, which lend a dynamic atmosphere and fresh air to the coast.
The waters that bathe Praia Angeiras Sul, although not usually calm, are known for the absence of strong currents, which gives them a peculiar oceanic dynamic. The presence of rocks and the nature of its sea create favorable conditions for various forms of aquatic exploration and for those who appreciate a more vigorous contact with the ocean.
The quality of Praia Angeiras Sul is annually distinguished with the Blue Flag award, a symbol of environmental excellence and good practices. Additionally, this beach boasts the Gold Quality Beach award, a certification that attests to the excellence of its bathing waters, evaluated by strict criteria. With inclusion in mind, the beach ensures a set of conditions that facilitate access to and enjoyment of the space and sea bathing for people with reduced mobility.
