Salgueira Beach, Sandy beach in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal
The beach stretches along the Atlantic coast with an extensive area of white sand and minimal rock formations in its central section.
During the 19th century, the beach was known as Praia dos Ceboleiros, where bathers wore long shirts, leading to municipal nudity restrictions in 1871.
The beach acquired its name from a former settlement in the area and remains an integral part of the Costa Verde coastal identity.
The beach provides lifeguard services between June 15 and September 15, with designated swimming areas marked by flags during the summer season.
Local surf conditions create a left-breaking wave that initiates from the central rock formations, offering a confined take-off zone for experienced surfers.
