About the Beach
What is Praia das Pedras Negras Beach?
It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Póvoa de Varzim.
Praia das Pedras Negras Beach, also known as Praia da Pedra Negra Beach, is inserted in the sea front of two places called Caturela and Granjeiro. It has a very long sand, ideal for doing a promenade by seaside.
