About the beach

Praia de Buarcos lies north of Figueira da Foz, next to the fishing quarter of the same name — one of the oldest coastal communities in this part of the Beira Litoral. Water quality is Excellent. The beach has a more local character than the open sandy beaches of Figueira, with fishing vessels contrasting with the beach support facilities. The historic Buarcos quarter immediately behind gives context to the place — a beach where everyday maritime life and summer bathing share the same space without friction.
