This camp is located on the Furadouro beach, Ovar, Portugal. Portugal is well-known for receiving visitors, especially in the North. People are really nice, humble, and helpful.
The beach in Furadouro is a beach with a strong fishing tradition and a wide shore in the area of Costa da Prata, in the north of Portugal. It’s one of the best-known beaches in the area and it’s famous for the excellent restaurants that serve traditional Portuguese food, seafood, and grilled fish. There are some pubs with good music, good beer and “caipirinhas”, with a lot of entertainment at night during the summer.
Most of the beaches near this one are divided by rock piers that protect them from the swell entrance and wind. Peaks are mainly right waves but there are also good left waves. A big part of these beaches is surrounded by a pine forest and connected to each other with wooden paths and bike paths. You can take long walks along the beach, go bike riding or go surf skating.
You can choose between deserted beaches or beaches with some visitors to go for your daily surf, but you will rarely find a crowded one. While you’re staying with Marias Hostel & Surf, they are pleased to show you different beaches.
