Description:
Lying 10 nm N of Leixoes and only 18km from Porto airport, Povoa is a useful and friendly port. With its modern beach front and long sandy beaches, coupled with a delightful old town with plenty of history, Povoa is a nice place to spend a few days. There is an impressive old casino, a wonderful waterfront skate park and a welcoming yacht club in the marina.
A convenient stopover in the summer, but be aware that most of Portugal has fiestas in the summer and particularly in August the revelry can go on into the early hours.
