Praia de Barra

Praia de Barra is a vast white sand beach stretching along the Atlantic coast near Ílhavo, where you can anchor off and take the dinghy ashore to explore a wild, open stretch of coastline backed by a long wooden boardwalk. The beach is well set up for surfing, bodyboarding, and kite-surfing, so there's plenty of energy here if you want to get in the water or just watch the action unfold.
