I recently visited Praia de Quiaios in Portugal and it was an absolute delight! The stunning views captivated me from the moment I arrived. The area is incredibly serene, perfect for anyone seeking tranquility. The addition of a pool and beach bar added an extra layer of relaxation to my experience. Plus, the abundance of parking made getting there a breeze. Being close to nature only enhanced the overall charm of this place. It's a must-visit destination for anyone craving a peaceful seaside getaway.

Nice beach, overall. The passages are nice and you can have a walk through the whole area without hassling with the sand. There's also lots of parking available. At least in some parts, it seems you can bring dogs along, it's not really clear. Water temperature is a bit on the cold side for my taste.

Great, calm beach with a wooden walkway going the whole length of the beach. Not too many people here.
