Praia Grande

Previous Next

Long sandy beach, with good access, near Colares.

This beach is very popular with water sports enthusiasts, such as bodyboarding and surfing.
Hosts an annual World Championship race Bodyboard and other European Surfing Championships.

The stormy sea at Praia Grande led to the creation of temporary ponds in the rocks. It has to do with the influence of the tides. Non-uniform sand banks are formed  and when the tide goes down not all the water goes, creating temporary lakes.
