Leça da Palmeira belongs to the municipality of Matosinhos and Porto district.
This place is near the lighthouse of Leça de Palmeira, where there are many cafes, restaurants and bars by the sea in the building area.

Here you have an extensive walkway for your walks, runs or even cycling. However, taking care that in this area is quite windy and having a jacket or sweater on hand is always a good idea.

With an extensive sand, bathed by the sea with strong swells, the beach of Leça da Palmeira offers excellent conditions for the practice of surfing, bodyboarding and kitesurfing, especially in its extreme north, where it will border with Praia do Aterro. Very frequented by young people, this area registers great animation, which extends into the night in the bars and clubs of the neighborhood this before COVID-19.

If you like to walk along a beautiful walkway next to the beach this place is excellent, as it is very calm, you have a spectacular view and you can take a dip on the beach. The beach water is a little cold, but in the summer the cold passes quickly.

Leça da Palmeira is close to the center of Porto, if you have a car the distance is more or less 10 minutes without traffic. It's worth the visit.
