Review:
Figueira da Foz, commonly referred to as simply Figueira, is a relaxing coastal city located along the Iberian Peninsula's Atlantic Ocean coastline at the mouth of the Mondego River, approximately half an hour from the city center of Coimbra. The popular tourist area is home to several lively beachfronts, including the Blue Flag-designated Relogio Beach, which offers accessibility features for visitors with mobility concerts and a number of children's playgrounds.
The three-kilometer Rainha das Praias is Portugal's longest public beachfront, offering gorgeous expanses of fine white sands and a variety of oceanfront cafes. Other popular beachfront spots include the former fishing village Buarcos, the unspoiled Murtinheira sand dune area, and the popular surfing beach Quiaios. Visitors to Figueira da Foz can also enjoy a myriad of gambling, dining, and resort amenities at the region's casinos, as Figueria is a legal gambling zone.
