Santa Catarina Terrace

The appartment is located just after the dunes. Acces to the beach is possible by using an old worn out boardwalk and in the end you do a small climb through the loose sand of the dune. We had the impression that this was not really a proper way to access the beach. In the appartment some metal parts, like lamps are rusty because of the salty environment and should be replaced. Communication with the host is difficult because she only speaks Portugese and no other language. We noticed that in Ilhavo there were more people (in shops, restaurants )who only spoke Portugese. We had a nice stay, although the weather was not very good.
