The beach situated within an hour's drive from the city center of Porto is absolutely delightful. The serene surroundings and the crystal-clear water make for an unparalleled experience. The beach is not overcrowded, which adds to its charm. The picturesque views are truly mesmerizing and leave a lasting impression on the visitors.

The expanse of the beach is quite grand, but the constant arrival of fishing boats makes it feel cluttered and noisy. While it may appear pleasant at first glance, the small barrage only serves to remind visitors of the potential danger lurking in the waters.

Located just a short distance away from Porto City, this beach is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking a peaceful and relaxing evening.

The beach is rather ordinary, but locating a parking spot for your car is essential. Once you've parked, a leisurely stroll will take you to the shore. Don't fret if you haven't brought any refreshments, as there are several eateries nearby. However, we prefer to bring our own food and drink, as prices can be steep due to the area's popularity with tourists. The sandy expanse is ample enough for ball games, and the white sand is quite picturesque. You can engage in activities such as swimming, reading, and sunbathing. Admission to the beach is free, but please remember to take your trash with you until you can dispose of it properly. And, as always, maintain a safe distance from others.

The Aguda shoreline presents itself as a rocky terrain, rendering it unsuitable for most conventional beach activities. The beach inclines steeply, and the waves are robust, making it challenging to build sandcastles. Perhaps other areas of Aguda offer a more favorable beach experience, but Aguda Beach is not the ideal spot for beach-goers. Its lack of popularity is not without reason. However, if you are seeking a tranquil spot to bask in the sun and relish the serene waters, then this is the perfect destination for you.
