Costa Nova do Prado is a picturesque coastal area near Aveiro and one of the most recognizable symbols of the Portuguese shoreline. This charming destination captivates visitors not only with its beaches and lagoon but also with its unique architecture, reflecting the maritime culture of the region.
The area is famous for its colorful striped houses — traditional fishermen’s buildings originally used as storage and shelters for fishing gear. Over time, they were transformed into family homes and became a source of local pride. Today, they represent the heritage of Costa Nova and contribute to its distinct character.
Beyond its visual charm, Costa Nova offers beautiful sandy beaches, calm lagoon waters ideal for sailing and kitesurfing, and fresh seafood served in local restaurants. The area blends natural beauty with opportunities for both relaxation and activity.
A visit to Costa Nova do Prado is a chance to experience authentic Portugal — with its seafaring traditions, vibrant architecture, and laid-back coastal lifestyle where the past gracefully lives alongside the present.
