Romantic place at seaside

This is Porto seaside just in the west side of town.
The Porto is an oceanic city, it’s the only Portuguese big city having sand beach inside its limits. So, when you want going to the beach you don’t need leaving the town as there are some nice beaches just in Porto.

A very nice balcony overlooking the sand beach … and the sea.
