Portugal - all beaches

A praia da Mina é uma extensão da mais conhecida praia das Paredes da Vitória. Como as infraestruturas de acesso e apoio se encontram nas Paredes, essa é a zona onde se concentra a maior parte dos veraneantes, ficando a longa extensão da Mina disponível para os apreciadores de praias desertas - ou quase.

This place can be a bit pricey for locals, but you don't have to pay for a sunbed. You can bring your own umbrella and sunbed. The sand is a bit sticky, but the ocean is beautiful. Just be careful if it's windy, as it can get rough. There's a cafe that sells water, cocktails, and snacks.

Incredibly dirty, everything around the bars. In the bush after cutting down trees and shrubs to increase parking, the dry remains are scattered, if there is a fire, everything burns. Parking is very expensive.

Mais do que uma praia, a Nazaré é um pequeno mundo, onde um povo especial vive uma intensa relação com o mar. De verão milhares de pessoas descaracterizam o local ao usufruir das delícias duma praia segura, embora de água fria, como é normal na costa atlântica. De inverno, as ondas gigantescas atraem outro tipo de turistas, e garantem que a animação não é apenas em época alta. Depois, fora desses dois picos, as vistas, de cima ou de baixo, são deslumbrantes, e o peixe espera no prato.

Fantastic beach. Good access. Its one from a string of beaches, all with good quality sand, generally little to no currents. The promenade, more than just access, makes for a great walk in the morning, afternoon or evening. Food-wise, there are many restaurants to choose from. Many hidden gems just 200-500m away from the beach. It can be busy in the height of summer and same goes for parking. At first glance the town can seem its just the beaches, but it offers a extraordinary base for so much more. I grew up there and still is one of my prime spots around the world and can't but keep coming back.

I have mixed feelings about this beach. While it's undeniably beautiful, the sea entrance is just too rocky 🫤🫤. It's secluded and uncrowded, giving it a unique appearance that makes you feel like you're on Mars or in the Sahara desert 🏜️🏜️! It's very nice, but ultimately not for us.
