Travelling party: Seniors

Large site near beach accessed along 2km cobblestone lane. Little vegetation, so site looked a bit desolate, despite many pitches occupied by permanent caravans. 6 amp electricity supply which readily trips off.

Travelling party: Seniors

This site is over priced and has very little going for it for the winter camper. This is the second time we have visited this site and will undoubtedly be the last. Each time the restaurant has been closed. The beach is filthy (not the fault of the site). The roads to the site are badly maintained and potholed and on our visit were constantly narrowed by local farmers dumping loads of manure opposite their small holdings. We will not be returning to this site. In our opinion one of the worst sites we visited in Portugal.

Inspected annually

"Large campsite located on the dunes, 100 metres from the sea. The campsite offers little shade, has a charming restaurant and a shop. Next to the campsite a pleasant swimming pool. Public transport, except for the period July 15th to August 31st., is at 1.5 km from the campsite."
