Redonda Beach

Salgueira Beach is located to the North and the Port of Póvoa de Varzim to the south.

[1] Compared with the rest of the territory, rainfall is significantly lower and solar irradiation higher.

[2][3] These are subject to the prevailing northern winds which arise in the summer after midday; hence mornings are significantly less windy.

it is the historical bathing beach of Póvoa de Varzim, that in the 19th century became the most popular tourist destination in Northern Portugal.

Ramalho Ortigão, in the book As Praias de Portugal (The Beaches of Portugal), states that Póvoa de Varzim is the great hostel for the inhabitants of the Minho province, for sea bathing or breathing the Sea air, as the marine layer is occasionally propelled to the beach by the south and western maritime winds during summertime, leaving an intense aroma.
