Backed by a long promenade, Praia do Carneiro offers fine sand, cabanas, and some rock-studded areas where you can explore marine life. See a picturesque lighthouse at the end of the 250 m (820 ft) long pier at the southern boundary of the beach, near the mouth of the Douro River. At the northern end, a bar provides cold drinks and tasty bites. Add Praia do Carneiro and other attractions to your Porto trip itinerary using our Porto trip planner.
