About the beach

Boa Nova is a small rocky beach in Leça da Palmeira, with little sand among rock outcrops, used mostly by people who live nearby. It is on Avenida da Liberdade, between Fuzelhas beach and Praia Azul. It has a lifeguard in the bathing season, toilets and free parking, but no showers or equipment hire. Unir buses 5001 and 5017 stop nearby. The rocks in the water mean care is needed getting in and out. It holds a Blue Flag in 2026. Water quality was rated Excellent in 2025.
