 Salgueira is very popular in the summer, with less crowds during weekdays or out of the summer season.Salgueira is crossed by Banhos Avenue, Póvoa's main waterfront avenue.The beach took the name of a former district and is a classic surfing beach ("Póvoa de Varzim spot"), very popular amongst bodyboarders, as the waves in the spot are more suitable for bodyboard, but with the high tide it will be good to longboard and surf, suitable for experienced surfers.
