Stretch your legs by the sea

A walk by the sea not only exercises the body, but also relaxes the mind. The ocean has a therapeutic effect and many residents and visitors take their daily walks along the Leça da Palmeira promenade, designed by Siza Vieira and inaugurated in 2005.

On the weekend, venture out along the more than ten kilometres of seafront that join Leça and Angeiras.

Part of the route is made on walkways over the dunes, perfect for filling your lungs with fresh air. Offering footpaths and roads, this lively area is well integrated into the landscape and filled with people trekking, running and walking their pets, on roller blades, bicycles or scooters. The council offers sustainable options like cycle paths and alternative transport services.
