Just a half an hour train ride from Santos, lies the serene Praia Velha. This beach is perfect for families and pet owners, as it has a calm atmosphere and no waves for surfing. The water is crystal clear and slightly chilly, which is quite common in this area. It's an ideal spot for a quick getaway from Lisbon, as it's easily accessible and offers a refreshing break from the city.

The beach is a fantastic location to enjoy the company of your children during a warm spring night. While there is parking available nearby, it is frequently congested.
