Our family of three (two adults and a teen) from the UK had a wonderful holiday at The Shore in Espinho. The apartment is perfectly situated with completely mesmerising views, and is a very comfortable and clean home from home. The hosts have obviously considered their visitors’ needs with much thought, and there was excellent communication from the hosts and their local contact.
Our son loved having surfing lessons with Academia do Mar and we all greatly enjoyed swims together when the waves were a little calmer! The beach is sandy and the water was clear and of a temperature that was fine to swim in without wetsuits. We found Espinho to be a friendly and relaxed place to be, with good local shops (supermarkets, bakers, gelateria) and efficient (and cheap) transport links to Porto and Aveiro. The boardwalk and promenade make for pleasant strolls and we recommend Ragazzo Pizzeria for super tasty pizzas and lovely staff. We’d love to return!
