Sao Martinho do Porto

São Martinho do Porto is best known in Portugal for its sheltered, shell-shaped bay, which opens to the Atlantic Ocean through a narrow channel. Set on the Silver Coast, the town has grown around a broad sandy beach whose generally calm water differs markedly from the more exposed surf beaches nearby. Its maritime character reflects a long connection with fishing and coastal trade. São Martinho do Porto is part of the municipality of Alcobaça, whose UNESCO-listed monastery is among Portugal’s most important medieval monuments. A waterfront promenade, cafés and holiday homes give the resort a relaxed seasonal rhythm, while the Atlantic remains close at hand.
