Sandy beach · Vilanova, Spain

Praia do Portal

A sandy beach in Vilanova, Spain. The bay opens toward the north across about 11 km of open sea, so expect waves when the wind comes from that side. The nearest chart sounding shows about 6.3 m of water 150 m offshore. Further out it reaches roughly 7 m at 400 m. The surroundings are wooded (trees around 13 m tall), so there is natural shade to find in the afternoon. Tides matter here: the range is about 2.9 m.
