Praia de Buarcos

Figueira da Foz, Coimbra

ExcellentAccessible

Praia de Buarcos is the northern beach of Figueira da Foz, next to the main beach but with a more fishing-village, traditional feel — arte xávega (beach-seine fishing) is still practised here. The atmosphere is more authentic and local than around the casino, with fishermen drying their nets and brightly coloured boats lined up on the sand. Water quality and the length of the sand make it a favourite with visitors.
