Canal de Mira Cycle Path from Vagueira to Costa Nova

Highlight • Cycleway

Southern start of the coastal bike trail along the west side of the Aveira Lagoon, between Vagueira and Costa Nova. Even though it runs parallel to the paved road, it is a quite natural setting with a new bike trail, alternating between pavement, compacted gravel, and wooden boardwalks where it crosses sensitive dune habitats.

Costa Nova

Highlight • Beach

Probably one of the most beautiful beach towns in the Beira / Central Portugal. Very popular with young people who come to the Sundownwer and surfing. My favorite since 1999!

Costa Nova Striped Houses

Highlight • Structure

These traditional houses were used by the fishermen to store their fishing equipment and have also been used as beach houses over the years. The fishermen have built their houses directly behind the beach. With their facades painted in colorful stripes, they welcome the sea.
