Apulia Beach With the beauty of its windmills and long sandy beach, this is the most sought after beach in northern Portugal


The colors are what most mark, on a first visit, the eyes of those who pass by. Because Apulia Beach is a colorful and well-disposed beach, perfect for those who like to get their feet wet without having to leave much of the comfortable area of the houses and terraces. 

The color of the landscape comes from the blue of the sea and, mainly, from the many lined awnings that shelter the holidaymakers from the heat when the sun goes up. Also the boats, standing by the beach in the small fishing port, bring more color to Praia da Apúlia, decorating it with typicality and tradition, whether fishing or catching sargass. The famous windmills complement the postcard of this beach and remember that here the wind is strong, even though the dunes are a good refuge.
