Attention!!!Achtung!!!!! Sehr, sehr schöner Strand, der leider belagert wird von sehr aggressiven Wildhunden! Gehen Sie NICHT den Steg entlang Richtung Strand, hier lauern die Hunde. Wir sind mit Todesangst um unser Leben gerannt. Zum Glück sind sie umgekehrt, als sie die Häuser gesehen haben- wer weiß wie das geendet hätte. Warum man es nicht schafft die Tiere einzufangen ist mir ein Rätsel! Muss hier erst etwas schlimmes passieren ?!

Awesome beach hidden nearby Aveiro! It is very secluded and has no restaurant or other services nearby. There is a parking lot and access is done using a wooden walkway. After that you have to walk on a long stretch of white sand to reach the sea!

Super Strand und kaum Touristen...am Parkplatz gibt es Toiletten und Duschen...der kleine Imbiss war lediglich für ein Eis gut, außerdem war nur Barzahlung möglich.

amazing sights, lots of sand so that is good no rocky sand. Cool stands, massive area so a lot of space to sun tan

It is a long way to drive down here, but the trip was worth it. It was very foggy when I arrived, but that made the place particulary precious. A very wide and long strip of nice sand beach. Walking south towards the tip, I was alone most of the time, with only a few people along the way.

Probably one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. Vast, wild, and empty (there were around 10 other people visible on the beach in later September). Could have watched the crashing building-sized waves indefinitely. They were so mesmerising that my partner passed out face down on the sand almost immediately. Meanwhile, not being a great beach Ken myself, I went for a jog up and down the strandline - it was magical and soothing. Notes & Tips: - Access: Walkable from the Sao Jacintho ferry terminal (~2km). It runs about once an hour from the Aveiro ferry terminal. I recommend getting here via taxi as ~€6 and the cycle would be long, hot and not very picturesque as it is through a port/industrial region. - Shade: For pasty people such as myself, there is none. So bring a… parasol? Gazebo? Wetsuit and sombrero? Factor 50 every 15 minutes seemed to just about work. - Food: There are a couple of cafe’s in Sao Jacintho, but nothing near the beach. Bring a picnic from one of the small supermarkets in Aveiro (I recommend the mini Mercado on Rua da Palmeira - simply because the guy working there was immensely friendly and kind). - Swimming & Surfing: No shops or anything, so you would need to bring your own equipment. However you’d have to be pretty nuts as the day we went, the waves were monstrous and wild - a big part of the appeal. Saw two locals go for a paddle - but no one else. - The Nature Reserve: Intended on checking this out alongside the beach, but could not work out how to access or if it would even be worth it on foot. Couldn’t easily access from along the beach (very wild - as one might expect).

Lovely sandy beach with dunes and old style fishing boats making it very peaceful and pretty.

Absolutely stunning. Beach is soooo long and the water is crystal clear.

Wonderful place, not far from civilization but the feeling of isolation is astonishing. Will go back

Very nice beach.. there are maybe 3 other people, as we visit the beach. So nice just to sit there enjoying the waves. There is also life guard there.

Beautiful and quiet place. Just ocean and you <3

Beautiful place, small waves and not so cold the water

Very quiet and not a lot of people. Beach is stunning

Beautiful beach, clean, not overrun (yet) by tourists, clean toilets and shower facilities. Always worth spending a day there.
