1. Costa Nova
Across the lagoon from Aveiro is a ribbon of small resort towns, the most delightful of which is Costa Nova, which has decked itself out from top to toe in jazzy candy stripes. It's a pleasant place to walk along the ocean and stop for lunch in one of the many seaside restaurants. Hourly buses make the 15-minute trip from Rua Clube dos Galitos in Aveiro.
Rua da Quinta do Cravo, Costa Nova, Aveiro, 3830-455, Portugal -
2. Praia Fluvial de Palheiras e Zorro
Less than 15 minutes' scenic drive from the bustle of Coimbra, this gorgeous river beach attracts sunbathers and swimmers in the June through September summer season. Crystal clear waters sit against a backdrop of deep green hills, and a bar on the sands provides ample opportunity to relax with a drink after a swim. There are lifeguards, plenty of parking, and barbecue facilities for those who fancy grilling a fresh-caught fish. It's a Blue Flag beach, meaning it meets the highest environmental and safety standards. Amenities: lifeguards; food and drink; parking. Best for: swimming.

3. Praia da Claridade
The main draw of Figueira da Foz is the magnificent 2-km-long (1-mile-long) beach that locals claim is the widest in Europe. It has calm waters that offer plenty of shallow areas for paddling tots, making it particularly popular among families. The golden strand is so broad you'll stroll for several minutes just to get your feet wet, and it's flanked by a promenade lined with sprawling terrace cafés. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards. Best for: sunrise; sunset; swimming. It can get crowded, but walk towards Buarcos to find the quieter stretches.
Av. 25 de Abril, Figueira da Foz, Coimbra, 3080-086, Portugal -
