Ponte da Varela

Highlight • Bridge

This bridge, opened in 1964, crosses the Aveiro ria and connects the municipalities of the peninsula (Torrreira, S. Jacinto) with the mainland near Murtosa.
This is the only road crossing between Ovar and Aveiro in east-west direction.

Lagoon beach ⛱️

Highlight • Beach

The lagoon becomes narrower toward the North. Still some sandy beach coves right along the Eurovelo1 bike route offer safe and warmer water to swim than across the peninsula on the ocean side, particularly useful early in the season.

The coastal Eurovelo 1 bike trail runs along the large protected estuary. Partially on dedicated trail separated from vehicle traffic, partially sharing the shoulder of the road. It's nicest going south to north to always be closest to the water.

Monte Branco Beach Shipyard

Highlight • Monument

Next to the historic fishing port of the small town of Torreira look for the museum with outdoor displays of several lovingly restored and colorfully painted wooden traditional fishing boats, directly along the CicloRia bike route
