Beach guide

This is Praia da Baía, in Espinho. Espinho council counts 8 km of fine-sand beaches in the borough, divided by groynes, and describes the Baía wave as a powerful right-hander breaking beside the sea wall, which has hosted World Surf League events. In 2026 its bathing season ran longer than at most beaches in northern Portugal, from 1 June to 20 September, with lifeguards on duty. Espinho railway station, on the main Lisbon–Porto line, serves the beach.
