Praia dos Beijinhos is located on the coastline of Póvoa de Varzim, a locality within the district of Porto. Positioned on the Atlantic edge, this beach establishes a direct connection with the vast ocean, fitting into the coastal landscape of Póvoa. Its proximity to the urban environment of the city harmonizes with the natural setting of the coast.
The sand of this beach is marked by its extension, which follows the characteristics of the region's coast. It is possible to observe rock formations that complement the vastness of the sand, contributing to the diversity of the scenery. The waters, directly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean, are refreshing. At certain times of the year, the coastal breeze is characterized by the presence of "nortada" winds. Sometimes, in the morning, fog can envelop the landscape, creating a particular atmosphere that tends to dissipate as the sun rises, revealing the fullness of the maritime panorama.
Praia dos Beijinhos offers an environment conducive to serenity and contemplation. The amplitude of the maritime horizon, the continuous sound of the waves breaking on the coast, and the interaction between the sand and the rocks compose a distinctive scene. It is a place where one can experience the essence of northern coastal nature. The space allows for walks along the shore and observation of the ocean's natural dynamics, from the movement of the tides to the occasional reveal of marine life. Its atmosphere invites a moment of pause, offering unobstructed views of the Atlantic.
