São Martinho do Porto
The sands here continue for an approximate 3
kilometres forming a shell shape around the sheltered bay that is home to São Martinho do Porto Beach. The calm sea represents the perfect conditions for both children and nautical sports such as windsurfing, sailing and canoeing.

The town, which was founded by monks from the Alcobaça Monastery in the 13th century, expanded significantly throughout the course of the 20th century becoming a much sought after and appreciated summer resort. The town further has a series of reputable restaurants specialising in local gastronomic specialities such as steamed lobster or stuffed spider crab.
