Torquemada Aire.( NOT Praia da Figueira!)
A favourite overnight stop for us. Parking next to the cemetery. Huge stork nest on the church tower with stork in the Spring but gone this time as we were here in the Autumn for once.
Only a few spaces.

great sand even better and more clear water. When it’s windy it makes sense to look for cover close to the rocks. No restaurants and quite the hike to get there - which is why it’s not as crowded

incredibly nice, the walk from the parking lot is not too bad (10-15 minutes) but very worth the effort. at otd fullest (around 14:00) we could have atranged everybody on the beach so that each group was at least 50m separated from any other group

Small but very beautiful beach. Not easy accessible as it can only be reached by foot but it’s worth the effort. The beach is pretty steep which brings can cause big waves. Once you stand on the beach you will appreciate its beauty.

After parking it's a 10-20 minute walk over sometimes rough terrain but you will be rewarded with a beautiful, quiet beach surrounded by magnificent cliffs.
Quite a few people brought their dog.
Another beach is accessible but you'll have to wade through the water.

Good beach but too wide
Fine and clean sand. Numerous lifeguards. It is very long, you can be quite separated from the rest of the people, if you want. People concentrate at the two ends. It is too wide (almost 700 meters between the boardwalk and the water in many areas) so you lose a lot of time going and coming back an…

We visited Figueira da Foz for the beaches and really enjoyed it. The beach has a huge stretch of sand, which makes it feel very open and never overcrowded, even on busier days.The beach is also very clean and well maintained, which makes it even more pleasant to spend the day there.The Atlantic w…

Nice views
We couldnt venture into the water, due to rains. The views of the beach and the city in the background are amazing. Lovely area with vast expanses.

Serene
Lovely golden sand beach overlooked by the clock tower. The man made kids pool is a great idea! Very quiet when we visited about 7pm.
