About the Beach
What is Praia do Canto Marinho 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 Viana do Castelo.
Praia do Canto Marinho Beach is famous for its numerous rock banks that are hidden during high tide. It has an extensive sand and a long dune string. The low tide uncovers small puddles, ideal for peaceful baths.
Almost untouched by man, this beach becomes the perfect place to rest quietly.
It was the first beach in Portugal to receive the award "Praia com Qualidade de Ouro"1 assigned by Quercus.
