Get ready to be splashed!
Walking along the Foz coastline was one of the highlights of our trip to Porto. We took a bus to get there, and after a short walk, we reached the lighthouse where the Douro River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean is right in front of you, with a beautiful coastline dotted with many lighthouses. Get ready to be splashed! The waves here are huge, creating some stunning splashes that almost cover the walls and lighthouses. It's a great way to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering top-notch views and a beautiful environment. It can be quite impressive on stormy days. If you have a few hours to spare while visiting Porto, don't hesitate to go there.

Walk along the Atlantic Coastline 🇵🇹 Foz do Douro
#citywalk
Foz do Douro is a district in Porto located at the mouth of the Douro River facing the Atlantic Ocean. We took tram no. 1 from the first stop at Infante (next to Church of Saint Francis) to the last stop at Passeio Alegre (next to Jardim do Passeio Alegre). From there we walked leisurely along the picturesque coastline until Avenida Brasil.
We passed by Farol de Felgueiras lighthouse and
Fortaleza de São João da Foz, a 16th-century fort, before reaching the beaches. The Atlantic coastline in Foz comprises of small sandy beaches nestled between granite outcrops. We enjoyed watching the huge Atlantic waves break onto the magnificent outcrops. The outcrops are ancient rocks about 300 million years old formed due to erosion of sea waves.
We had lunch at Restaurante Praia da Luz by Ingleses Beach while enjoying the ocean view.
