MATOSINHOS BEACH

Matosinhos Beach

The long stretch of fine golden sands and good bathing water found in Matosinhos is a short distance from the hundreds of seafood restaurants Matosinhos is famouus for. Easy access from central Porto using the metro makes Matosinhos beach very popular. Matosinhos' small container port (Porto de Leixões), forms the northern boundary. The Castelo do Queijo, opposite the Sea Life centre, forms the southern edge. The great Atlantic swell is a draw for surfers and other wave jockeys. The area is home to numerous surf shops that hire boards and offer lessons. Various competitive events are held every year. The promenade running along the length of the beach is popular with joggers and cyclists.
