Praia do Molhe is one of the best beaches in Porto.
This beach has a Blue Flag and is about 168 metres long. This place is one of the most famous postcards of Porto.
The beach has a sumptuous staircase, with numerous bars with well-kept balconies, from where you can enjoy sea views.
To get to this beach you can take bus lines 1M, 200, 203, 204 and 500 (STPC). The City Sightseeing Portugal tourist buses also pass by here – red line, or the yellow line – Porto dos Castelos bus.

Fort of Saint Francis Xavier (Cheese Castle)

Highlight • Castle

The fort, founded in 1661 or 1662, is located in a dominant position over the Atlantic Ocean, close to the mouth of the Douro River. It is also known as Cheese Castle because it was built on a rounded granite rock, which looks like a cheese.

Felgueiras Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Located at a very interesting point in the city: the mouth of the Douro River, this old lighthouse (built in 1886) has a typical and traditional lighthouse design, but what is most striking is when you are on the pier and the sea waves break on the nearby rocks, providing a refreshing dip for those nearby. Caution should be exercised, as while it is beautiful, it can also be very dangerous.
