Neighbourhood information
São Martinho is a beautiful small village, with a shell shaped bay. Due to its particular shape, the bay is the ideal beach for families with small children, as the strong sea current characteristic of the Atlantic ocean is not present here.
Throughout the sea front there are lovely restaurants, where you can delight yourself with delicious Portuguese food, nice cafés and bars.
Just a stroll away along the coast line and you'll find Salir do Porto River beach, which has the river streaming to the ocean and is also perfect for families due to its calm waters.
São Martinho do Porto's beautiful beach, just a short walk away, is perfect for sun lovers and water sports fans. Whether you prefer lounging on the sand or trying activities like jet skiing, kayaking, or stand-up paddleboarding, the beach offers a fantastic range of things to do.
Explore nearby towns beyond São Martinho do Porto to enhance your Portuguese adventure. Visit Nazaré for its famous giant waves and charming streets, or go to Alcobaça to admire the stunning monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The historic town of Óbidos, with its medieval charm, is also easy to reach.
