Dado Beach is a treasure! A long brick promenade for strolling or running, restaurants and cafes with indoor and outdoor seating, a well tended beach with numerous lifeguard stations spaced out, an outdoor pool for small children, changing rooms, rest rooms, outdoor and indoor showers, plenty of parking, easy to reach by bus or train ... and all free. There are lifeguards on duty at all stations from April to October, and at selected stations from March to November. The water is cool for all but tourists from cold climes until May, but it's still a fun place to hang out. I once visited there at midnight while waiting for a train, and even at that hour there were many people strolling.
