  • We are (unwilling) parts of the pollution problem. We are the folks who are disgorged from those monstrosities of cruise ships (mea culpa) so we float in for a few hours and haul our sorry-behinds...

  • Very large sandy beach. The beach water is clean and you have a large area covered with fine sand. The tricky part is to find a changing room. You can always ask someone to find it. Water was clear without any algae or anything. Good for family time. Have a great time.
  • A beach little away from the Porto City Centre. Vast expanse of fine sand and se. The beach is between port and Fort on the other side. On a sunny day this is the place of activity and people enjoy sun bathing regardless of the wind which still might be cold. Lovely place with lots of bars around to get coffee and beer.
