About the Beach
Praia de Porto Dinheiro is a small, picturesque beach in Lourinhã, with clay cliffs rich in dinosaur fossils, making it a unique palaeontological destination. The small fishing village it shares a name with and the fishing boats pulled up on the sand give it a genuinely authentic charm. The waves are good for surf and water quality is excellent.
