This is a binding stopping-place: the spot where the river meets the sea! The people of Porto come here for a walk and the fisher men, day or night, come to catch something.

The rocks of the Coastline from Oporto are the oldest which outcrop in Portugal and constitute a geological heritage of high scientific interest-didactic, the Metamorphic Complex of Foz do Douro, classified as Municipal Natural Heritage. In April 2005 was created a thematic route for dissemination of this designated heritage by "Geological Tour of Foz do Douro", signaled with nine panels of information addressed to the general public.

Porto and the sea are as one. This zone was once in great demand because of its beaches, but nowadays that demand has being reducing due to the quality. There are, though, other attractions like walking areas. Often seek at weekends, this place may be a good choice for some leisure hours.
