Praia de Matosinhos is the largest beach and the easiest to get to from downtown Porto. The beach has expanses of golden sand and waves for surfing, and is just a 15-minute metro ride from central Porto.

A long, stretching beach with a promenade and a wooden walkway leading to the sea. From here, you can see the cruise ships departing.
