Felgueiras Lighthouse

4.7 ·

Walk out to Felgueiras Lighthouse, the granite sentinel where the Douro meets the Atlantic. Follow the coastal path, watch the waves roll in, and linger for sea views around the old tower.

Full description

Felgueiras Lighthouse is a small hexagonal granite tower, around 10 metres tall, built in the 19th century where the Douro River meets the Atlantic. The appeal lies in the coastal walk to reach it and the sea air and wave-watching once there.

Reviewers mention dipping their feet in the ocean on warm days and arriving by the historic tram line out of Porto. A visit takes about 30 minutes, and the site is open at all hours, making it equally suited to sunset or a quiet morning stroll.
