Praia de Porto, Beach in Foz do Douro, Spain

The beach extends along a rocky coastline with golden sand, featuring natural stone formations that create protected swimming areas near the shore point.

The beach area developed during the 19th century when local fishing communities established their primary landing zones for small fishing vessels.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices, bringing fresh catches directly to the beachfront markets for daily morning sales.

The beach has modern facilities including showers, changing rooms, and a lifeguard station operating from June through September with monitored swimming areas.

The beach contains natural tidal pools formed within the rocky outcrops, which fill with warm water during low tide periods.
