Praia dos Ingleses

Easily accessible by bus, as it is right along the busy main road....so traffic noise too. The beach is very narrow, gravelly not fine soft sands, and with strong waves, lots of rocky outcrops... and your feet sink in deep upto your ankles when walking. Not the best if you are looking for fine soft sands and beach games and gentle waves or gettingin the water. The waves are too strong. However, this place is great to watch waves crash on the many rocky outcrops along the beach. As the evening progresses, the waves recede exposing many more rocky platforms that soon become shallow tidal pools. Lots of pretty algae and tiny colorful stones. And if you like to watch the sun setting into the water, this place is perfect. Better still you can walk towards lighthouse and watch the sunset over the ocean horizon from there. The WC at the beach locks at 7pm. No restaurants right on the beach, but one can go to the ones up on the road.

One of the best spots in Porto to watch the sunset. The light hits the waves just right, and the sky turns into a painting every evening. Peaceful, clean, and not too crowded — perfect for a quiet walk or just sitting and taking it all in. Highly recommend coming here around golden hour!

Catching golden hour at Praia dos Ingleses was unexpectedly moving. The light spills gently across the shoreline, bathing the rocks in soft amber tones that feel almost surreal. It’s the kind of place that slows you down and invites a bit of quiet reflection—even a touch of romance, if you’re in the right mood. The beach is clean, peaceful, and not at all crowded, even with such a beautiful view. Whether you're walking, watching the tide roll in, or just soaking in the atmosphere, it has a stillness that stays with you. If you’re into photography, bring your camera—the light and textures here are something special.

Great spot to bring the kids or to sun bathe

Really nice and clean beach with small colourful stones and coarser, pebbly sand. This time it was even inviting for a quick dip, there were several people swimming and sunbathing.

Beautiful beach that is easily reached from downtown Porto by the bus #500 Pretty sandy beaches with rocks but the water is cold and rough so be careful ! No easy bathroom but there is a couple cafes across the street

Exquisite, glorious sunset here to contemplate. A lot of people go for a walk, exercise, hang out with friends or walk their dog here while being showered by the charms of sunset. It is super windy here so make sure you are ready with scarf and warm clothes to enjoy without getting freezing!

Ocean side, lovely neighbourhood. Good place for sunset. Obviously big waves, so be careful. Need more WC.
