    On this beach, you can see a fortress from the Middle Ages and, obviously, it is possible to bathe, sunbathe or simply relax. A good place to come with family, friends or children. The beach is golden sand and has many rocky areas. Although it is not guarded and does not have many support infrastructures, it is worth visiting for its beautiful landscape. If you are looking for a quiet corner by the sea in Porto, Praia do Castelo do Queijo is an excellent option to enjoy nature and history. 😊

      All pilgrims walk past here, I personally didn't think the fort was that great

        Unspectacular, but beautiful view from above.
