Surfing the waves in Matosinhos
It is impossible to talk about Matosinhos Summer without mentioning water sports, specifically surfing. Matosinhos is known as the ideal environment for surfing, especially for beginners. There are several surf schools along the beach, as well as shops selling and renting sea sports equipment.
Walk on the Marginal
After redevelopment a few years ago, the coastal road of Matosinhos has given new life to the beach area. Along the wide promenade, passersby walk, skate, cycle or buy ice cream in small shops. Go for a walk on a hot summer’s day or sip refreshments on a terrace while watching the sunset.
Picnic at City Park
The best known park in Matosinhos is the Parque da Cidade do Porto. Despite its name, the park is “shared” between Porto and Matosinhos and is the largest urban park in the country, occupying a total of 83 hectares and about 10 km of walking paths. It’s the perfect setting for a picnic with friends or family.
