Praia de Leça, Atlantic beach in Leça da Palmeira, Portugal
The beach extends along the coastline with golden sand, bordered by Avenida da Liberdade and facing strong waves from the Atlantic Ocean.
The 17th-century Fort of Leça da Palmeira and the 46-meter-tall lighthouse from 1926 mark the southern and northern ends of the beach.
The Piscina das Marés, designed by architect Siza Vieira, integrates natural rock formations with artificial pools, representing Portuguese architectural innovation.
The beach maintains lifeguard services from June 15 to September 15, with water temperatures reaching 16°C during summer months.
The beach combines natural elements with industrial views, as visitors can observe the port cranes and refinery tanks while enjoying the Atlantic waters.
