Quião Beach, Atlantic beach in Aver-o-Mar, Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal.
The beach stretches along the northern Portuguese coast with four small coves formed by rocky formations and a broad expanse of fine sand.
Local fishing communities have utilized this coastal area for generations, maintaining traditional fishing practices that continue through present times.
Seaweed collectors in the northern section of the beach create distinctive conical heaps called Medas, preserving a regional maritime tradition.
The beach provides lifeguard services from June 15 to September 15, with amenities including showers, sunshade rentals, and accessible pathways.
A small stream flows near the beach bar, creating natural divisions between different sections of the shoreline and forming sheltered swimming areas.
