    Very nice beach! Popular for Kite Surfing, Wind Surfing and Stand up paddling. There is also a nice beach bar with cold drinks and some snacks and Surf school and rental place. You can find some nice quiet spots in the dunes.

    Praia do Cabedelo is a popular beach located in the northern part of Portugal, near the city of Viana do Castelo. It is a well-known spot for water sports enthusiasts, particularly for surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wingfoiling, and stand-up paddleboarding. Here is some useful information about Praia do Cabedelo: Surfing: The waves at Praia do Cabedelo are generally quite consistent, with an average height of around 1-2 meters (3-6 feet). The beach is exposed to the Atlantic Ocean, so the conditions can be quite challenging, especially during the winter months when the swells are larger.

Kitesurfing: Praia do Cabedelo is considered one of the best kitesurfing spots in Portugal, with steady winds and flat water. The average wind speed is around 15-25 knots, and the best months for kitesurfing are from May to September. There is a kiteboarding school on the beach that offers lessons, rentals, and storage. Windsurfing: Windsurfing is also a popular activity at Praia do Cabedelo, with good wind conditions and flat water. The average wind speed is around 15-25 knots, and the best months for windsurfing are from May to September. There is a windsurfing school on the beach that offers lessons, rentals, and storage. Wingfoiling: Praia do Cabedelo is becoming increasingly popular for wingfoiling, which is a relatively new sport that combines elements of windsurfing and kiteboarding. The conditions at the beach are suitable for wingfoiling, with steady winds and flat water. Stand-up paddleboarding: Stand-up paddleboarding is a popular activity at Praia do Cabedelo, with calm waters and a beautiful coastline to explore. There are several places on the beach that offer stand-up paddleboard rentals. Facilities: Praia do Cabedelo has several facilities for visitors, including a parking lot, showers, toilets, and a restaurant. There are also several accommodation options in the area, ranging from camping sites to hotels and guesthouses. Parking: There is a large parking lot at Praia do Cabedelo that is free of charge. However, during the summer months, the parking lot can get quite crowded, so it's best to arrive early to secure a spot.

    A clean and calm place good for sports like surf, but also fantastic for any nature enthusiast as not only you have the beach but just steps away natural coastal pine forests .

    A bit out of the way if you’re staying in Viana Do Castelo but there is a ferry that crosses the river for €1.50 each way. It was wonderful little trip, the beach is beautiful and a lot of wind surfers around which is quite nice to see.

    When i was young i used to walk from Viana to the beach of Cabedelo.The beach is windy and cold to swim.No women in the beach or girls to show their assets to warm my body. A sacrifice to control myself in the name of my G....

    Really good beach, expansive sands that are very clean with sandunes. Very windy which is why it is perfect for kite/wind surfing 🏄‍♂️. If you don't do this, just watch - truly fascinating.

    Changing area on way to the beach whiche as useful. Lots of people there but didn't feel crowded. Very soft sand and clean. Great swimming with lifeguard attendance. Parking busy but if you drive around can find a space

    No rocky slippery paths to the water, lots of dunes and beautiful wind surfing to watch. Great toilets too with showers.
