About the beach

Praia das Caxinas is in Vila do Conde, associated with the fishing community that gives it its name — one of the most active on the northern Portuguese coast. Water quality is Good. The beach has a distinctly local character, and the presence of artisanal fishing — boats, fishing gear and the activity of the harbour — lends it an authenticity that more tourist-facing beaches rarely achieve. The seafront of Vila do Conde, with its monastery and historic bridge in the background, is a setting that distinguishes this stretch of the Minho and Douro coastline.
