Ílhavo, the Sea as Tradition

Ílhavo became known for the famous palheiros in Costa Nova and the Barra beach, yet there are lots of lesser known spots in this territory to explore. We can see landscapes full of color and different environments, from the blue of the sea and the river to the green of the woods and the golden sands of the beaches.
Ílhavo municipality is able to attract visitors for its culture, landscapes, beaches and people, calling attention for its unique peculiarities. Tourists can embark on numerous leisure and sporting activities in constant contact with nature. They can also visit museums and other cultural spaces, and get to know about local History and Culture, aside from having the opportunity to experiment local good, as well as local traditions and festivities.
