Review & FAQ:
Set at the junction of the Cávado River and the Atlantic Ocean, Esposende is a charming seaside town that doesn't attract nearly as many tourists as other beach towns like Espinho and Costa Nova. However, the white sand beaches here are truly spectacular, and the water is perfectly suited to watersports like surfing and standup paddle boarding. If you get tired of the beach, you can rent a bike and explore the historic city center, go for a walk on one of the trails in the Northern Littoral Natural Park, or visit the fort of St. Lourenço.
