Praia da Aguda is a serene and picturesque beach located between Porto and Espinho, known for its golden sands and traditional fishing village atmosphere. It offers a sheltered harbor where a small fleet of fishing boats moor, adding to its charm. The town behind the beach remains untouched by mass tourism, maintaining a low-key atmosphere with fishermen's houses, cafes, and elegant holiday homes along its tranquil shoreline.
The beach is easily accessible via public transport, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a relaxing day trip or longer stay. Despite its proximity to larger resort towns, Aguda retains a distinctly Portuguese character.
The sea temperature remains cool even during peak summer, reflecting the beach's exposure to the Atlantic Ocean's powerful waves and currents.
