Praia da Costa de Lavos — Attraction in Figueira da Foz

It is a beautiful beach - and for fishing and experienced surfers it looks amazing. The sea is incredibly rough with a constant roar of the ocean and never ending 1-2m waves. The currents are clearly very strong and it’s not really a place for kids to go in the sea - or at least it wasn’t for our visit in July. The sky was overcast every morning and it was quite cool.

Fantastica! Noi abbiamo sostato in un'area sosta camper che dà direttamente sul mare... c'è scarico acque grigie, scarico nere e carico acqua. Non c'è elettricità, ma il bello è che è completamente gratuita! Ci sono i bagni e le docce di cui usufruiscono anche i bagnanti. Vicino alla spiaggia c'è il paese con bar e supermercato per le varie esigenze. La spiaggia è libera, selvaggia ed incontaminata. I cani possono venire in spiaggia senza che alcuno dica alcunché.
