I'm off to Porto at the end of the month for 5 days. We're looking to get some beaches in for a couple of days during this.
Are there any good beaches near Porto? (as in a day trip) OR
Should we stay in Porto for 3 days and then head elsewhere? If so, are there any nice places not too far from Porto (as in not a 6 hour train trip).
Thank you kindly

Praia do Guincho is great, but not so near

Looks nice, thank you Miesfan. Does anyone have any recommendations of beach resort style places not too far from Porto too?
Thank you

...well, I've been to Portugal several times, but always visiting buildings, with students of the University. Siza Vieira, Souto de Moura, Aires Mateus, now even Koolhaas ...
Places such as Sintra, Cascai, Coimbra, or Estoril worth a visit ...
Enjoy!
Here a link to Espinho...

The best beaches are south of Lisbon.
Near Porto you have Matosinhos, Espinho and Figueira da Foz which have ok beaches. I would recommend coming down for the beaches, but if you don't have the time, go to one of those I suggested above.
