Viana do Castelo has a coastline of around 26 kilometres, where you can enjoy rare natural beauty and long sandy beaches.

The environmental quality of the beaches motivated the awarding of prizes such as “Dourada”, “Blue Flag” and “Accessible” to several beaches in Viana do Castelo. While on the one hand they are very popular for swimming, on the other hand there are also many people who practice sports such as surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing and kitesurfing there.

The Lima River also offers other sports such as jet skiing, sailing, rowing, canoeing, fishing or simply a boat trip, leaving from the Marina.
