Parque Natural do Litoral Norte

Day trip within Esposende to the beautiful empty beach of Praia de Ofir in the natural park here….

A lovely big sand bank where on the one side you can jump in and be tossed around by the Atlantic, and the other, where you can sit with the fishermen as they do their magic at the mouth of the Cavado river!

A wooden boardwalk leads you back in through the dunes and sand flowers…and one can gawk at a few lucky souls who have houses here (future goals!)

A sure spot to have some peace on the beach in summer as it seems the majority of people don’t stray out too far from main entry to the beaches in Portugal. A win for us wandering few…

Of course, a beach day like this can then only end with fresh summer rolls!Read more
