Praia da Costa Nova (Ílhavo)-Novo Local

Good location close to beach. Parking spaces are a bit tight, probably too tight if >7m. Water not switched on so only useful for an overnight stop. The town itself is a bit dead and we struggled to find a bar that was open in the evening. Aveiro is close by and worth a visit

Great location; you can empty your camper but not fill up with water, and you can empty the toilet. Fine for a beach walk or a visit to the old village, but otherwise there wasn't much to do. The weather wasn't very nice when we were there either, which often makes it feel different.

Narrow pitches. Close to both the dunes/beach and the unique, authentic center. The ticket machine at the entrance is not working, the barrier is open, so the stay is currently free (normally €5). Clean water is not available for this reason either. Today (Easter weekend) it is completely full at 7 PM.
