What travellers are saying
- WanderLSPCharlotte, NC452 contributionsNice beach with a great boardwalk and restaurants. The striped houses are interesting, but not a must see, IMO.Written 20 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 345garyHeart's Delight, Canada27 contributionsBeing Newfoundlanders, with our fishing connection to Portugal, we just had to visit this museum. Easy Uber trip from the train station. The museum is housed in a beautiful modern building and is far bigger than we imagined. We throughly enjoyed the museum exhibits especially the section on codfishing in the North Atlantic. We also enjoyed the displays of traditional Portuguese ships and models and also the section on navigation. The documentation was in Portuguese so we simply used Google Lens to easily translate and missed nothing.
If interested in Portuguese maritime history it’s a great place to spend a few hours. Well worth a visit.Written 30 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is only open on Wednesday between 2-5pm when we visited in September.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MarioMilheeze, The Netherlands45 contributionsBeautiful beach but no rental parasols. You can rent a cabin tent for some shadow. Nice sand and lots of room.Written 31 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AmarilisVosJabbeke, Belgium2,318 contributionsWe visited this ship on September 29. Free parking is available next to the Oudinet garden. You have to go through this public garden to get to the entrance. You can buy a ticket to visit the ship, but also a combination ticket to visit the ship and the maritime museum in the city of Ilhavo. The information boards are in Portuguese and English. There are some steep steps in the nave. It gives you a good idea of how those sailors lived and worked to catch cod.Written 14 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- papuacomplWarsaw, Poland3 contributionsTerrible place. Worst of the whole Portugal. Concrete, uncharming town next to the nice stretch of the white sanded beach. Better to avoid.Written 6 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AmarilisVosJabbeke, Belgium2,318 contributionsWe visited the center on September 29. You can park in the street. On the first floor was a temporary exhibition about a local photographer. On the second floor, you can see local religious memorabilia and maritime religious artifacts. Unfortunately everything is in Portuguese.Written 14 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
