São Martinho: a well-kept Portuguese secret
São Martinho do Porto is a little known gem of a resort just over an hour north of the Portuguese capital, Lisbon.
Whilst the Atlantic pounds neighbouring surf beaches, São Martinho is situated in a natural shell shaped bay that provides a sandy beach, safe bathing and warm water.
In the winter it is very quiet. In the spring and autumn it is popular with northern Europeans. In the summer school holidays it throngs with local and foreign families enjoying the pleasures of a small resort seaside holiday.
The Costa de Prata (Silver Coast)
São Martinho is on the Costa de Prata (Silver Coast) in the Leiria area. The region contains impressive architectural, historical and religious sites, including castles, abbeys, shrines and Roman ruins.
The spectacular coastline combines empty beaches with quaint fishing towns and villages. Inland there is fertile farmland and stunning national parks. There is a variety of regional food, especially seafood and excellent local wines.
