In Matosinhos Beach, just 20 minutes away from Porto, the instructors of Detours Porto are waiting you to teach you the great sport of surf. Portugal has one of the best beaches of Europe to surf and the beaches close to Porto are perfect specially for surf begginers. Matosinhos beach is the longest beach in the city, whose golden sand extends through the north shore from the Duero estuary up to the west boarding with the Atlantic Ocean. It is surrounded by a fishing port and Fort of Castelo de Queijo.
