This is one of the Minho’s best beaches: a 1km-long arch of blonde, powdery sand, which folds into grassy dunes backed by a grove of wind-blown pines. It’s across the river from town, best reached on a five-minute ferry trip (one-way/return €1.40/2.80; half-price for under-12s, free for children under six) from the pier south of Largo 5 de Outubro.
