Praia da Agudela

Lavra, Portugal, Portugal

---

Praia da Agudela is a long ocean beach in the parish of Lavra, Matosinhos, in northern Portugal’s Porto region, facing the Atlantic along the Costa Verde.

The shore features a wide stretch of sand surrounded by dunes crossed by wooden boardwalks, with areas of rocks at low tide and a generally lively, exposed sea that makes it popular for locals seeking a quieter alternative to the city’s main beaches.

It is Blue Flag‑certified and offers practical amenities such as lifeguards in summer, sunshade and equipment rentals, showers, toilets, a beach bar, nearby restaurants, and generous parking, while also being recognised as an accessible beach with facilities like an amphibian wheelchair and a flat, easy‑to‑use layout along the promenade.
