Praia Dunas Mar, Atlantic sand beach in Gulpilhares e Valadares, Portugal.
The extensive sandy shoreline of Praia Dunas Mar stretches along the Atlantic coast, featuring wooden footbridges that connect different sections of the beach.
The beach area transformed from a traditional fishing spot into a recreational destination following the development of coastal infrastructure in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Local summer festivals at Praia Dunas Mar bring together residents and visitors to experience Portuguese coastal traditions, music performances, and regional food specialties.
The beach maintains lifeguard services from June through September and provides facilities including showers, restrooms, and several beachfront refreshment stands.
During low tide, natural rock formations emerge from the water, creating temporary pools where visitors can observe small marine life forms.
