Matosinhos Beach

"We were told that the beaches of Porto aren´t that pretty so we decided to visit Matosinhos beach which lies on the north right above the city. My main goal was to go surfing and I didn´t regret it. It was absolutely amazing! There are a lot of surf rentals where you can rent surfboards, bodyboards and all the necessary equipment for, I would say, a good price. I gave you links below where you can rent a surfboard. I rented in Fish Surf School. We caught really nice waves. They weren´t very big, therefore, the beach is recommended even to beginners. The beach is long, bottom is sandy and seashore is shallow, just perfect for going safely to the water. Don´t worry about the food - there are many place to eat and drink. Right on the beach there are Vagas, Bar do Titan and Lais de Guia. Further from the beach, you find fast-foods and bigger restaurants. "

"There were many surfers out in the water as a form of volleyball using a soccer ball and no hands!"
