This reported naturist beach is part of the long sandy Costa Nova shoreline in the Aveiro District, near Ilhavo, Portugal. Access is on foot across the dune area south of central Costa Nova, with a walk from nearby coastal access points. Parking is generally expected around the Costa Nova coastal area, followed by walking to the naturist section. Public transport access is generally via the Aveiro, Ilhavo and Costa Nova area, followed by walking. Open beach access with no fixed opening hours is expected, and no admission fee is expected for access to the beach. The surface is sand, with dunes behind the shore and an open beach setting with limited natural cover expected on the sand. Little to no natural shade is expected, so visitors should bring sun protection, water and supplies. No dedicated facilities are expected on the naturist section. No food or drink service is expected directly on the naturist section, while options may be available in the Costa Nova village area. The section is generally quieter than the main Costa Nova beach, with more use during warm summer periods. Atlantic water conditions may include cool water, waves, wind and changing currents, so conditions should be assessed on arrival. Use normal coastal safety precautions, keep valuables secure, and choose a position that respects other beach users space. June through September is generally the expected period for more favourable beach weather, with earlier daytime visits possibly more comfortable in warm summer periods. Visitors should plan for a self-sufficient visit and allow extra time for the dune walk in both directions.
