About the Beach
What is Praia da Areia 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 Vila do Conde.
Praia da Areia Beach presents a very extensive sand of about 1,3 Km.
It integrates the south shoreline of the Paisagem Protegida Regional do Litoral de Vila do Conde e Reserva Ornitológica de Mindelo1.
To the south, the only existing rock formation bounds the sand area.
This beach is very demanded by those who seek to escape the hustle and bustle of urban zones.
The support car parking right beside the sand is a precious asset.
Access is done along Rua de Sagres2.
