Praia dos Beijinhos, Sand beach in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal
The beach extends along the Leça da Palmeira coast, featuring fine sand and rocky formations that create natural barriers between different sections.
Located near a 19th-century lighthouse, this maritime beach gained its name from the abundant whelks that local fishermen collected in past centuries.
The beach maintains its connection to Portuguese coastal traditions through regular fishing activities and maritime celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can access changing rooms, showers, and outdoor parking facilities, with lifeguard services available during the summer season from June to September.
The rock formations surrounding the beach create natural pools during low tide, offering protected areas for swimming away from strong ocean currents.
