Foz do Douro, Coastal district at the Douro River mouth in Porto, Portugal

The district extends along the Atlantic coast with granite outcrops and small sandy beaches, including Praia dos Ingleses and Praia do Carneiro.

The Fortaleza de São João da Foz, constructed during the 16th century, stands at the river entrance as a testament to Porto's maritime defense system.

The Pérgola da Foz, built in the 1930s, serves as a meeting point where residents gather for evening walks along the waterfront promenade.

Visitors can reach Foz do Douro via the historic Line 1 tram or bus 500, which operate regular services connecting the district to central Porto.

The Farol de Felgueiras lighthouse, built in 1886 from granite blocks, extends into the Atlantic Ocean at the end of a long stone pathway.
