About the Beach
What is Praia de Ofir Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Esposende.
Praia de Ofir Beach is part of the Rio Cávado1 mouth by the south margin. It is mid divided by a pier and there's another one to the south bounding the beach.
A very extensive sand of about 2,7 Km ends north, in the form of a sandy strip which meets the river mouth and delights bathers.
This beach attracts very people of younger generations due to the vicinity of nightlife.
