Praia de Francemar, Atlantic beach in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal
Francemar Beach extends along the Costa Verde coastline with extensive flat sand areas bordered by natural vegetation and dunes.
The beach forms part of the historic Douro Litoral region, traditionally governed by the maritime authority of Capitania do Porto do Douro.
Local restaurants near the beach specialize in Portuguese seafood dishes, with Dom Marisco Miramar offering traditional fishing community recipes.
Free parking facilities and wooden walkways provide direct access to the beach, while lifeguard services operate from June through September.
The northern section connects to Ribeira de Canelas watercourse, creating a natural ecosystem that supports diverse coastal flora.
