  • Pinewood site between the Aveiro Lagoon and the Atlantic
  • A five-minute drive from the São Jacinto Dunes Natural Reserve
  • Snack bar, shop and playground; swim in the lagoon opposite the site
Picture your dream hols… Are you conjuring sandy beaches, sunny climes and splashing about in the ocean? No magic tricks required – just tootle along to Parque Orbitur São Jacinto, a family-friendly site five minutes’ drive from the village of São Jacinto in Portugal’s Aveiro region. It’s a cinch to tick off sun, sea and sand hereabouts, as long as the weather holds true: the site’s 10 minutes from the nearest beach, where anyone keen to get out on the waves can have a go at bodyboarding and surfing, or simply take a stroll along the sand and catch some rays. If the north Atlantic is a little too wild, a more serene option is even closer to hand: the famed Aveiro lagoon (one of Europe’s only areas of coastal marshland) is just across the road, so dive right in for a swim or cast out a line for an afternoon of fishing. Fancy lazing about on site? Settle in for quiet days in the leafy shade, dispatching bored kids to the on-site playground when peace is required. When the family gets peckish, nip over to the snack bar for a quick bite or pick up something small at the shop. For more substantial fare, fire up the barbecue and get grilling or sample the local eats within 10 minutes at one of the peninsula’s restaurants.

Electric grass and earth pitch

Liked: The campsite was in a great location, with nature all around. Everyone respects the quiet times between 11pm and 7am, so we could get a good nights sleep. Super dog friendly place, and a lovely walk direct from the campsite to the beach, which was virtually empty so the dogs could have a good run around and be free. Food can be ordered from the restaurant as a take-away. Just be prepared for a waiting time as it is freshly cooked. Also take tent pegs suitable for sandy soil, we spent a lot of time hammering them in as very little grip.

Disliked: We were told we could set up our tent anywhere in a particular area, marked out on a map. After setting up everything which took 3 hours due to the bad weather, a member of staff told us we could not stay in that spot, because a locked gate behind us was used as an emergency exit! We were not told this before. He was very rude, did not greet us before telling us to move. All the other staff were kind and friendly.

Local attractions

During stays, a jaunt (or two, or three) into the fab São Jacinto Dunes Natural Reserve is an absolute must: just five minutes’ drive from base, it’s a top spot for birdwatching and trails among and along dunes, and there’s a small interpretive centre that’s worth a visit. The reserve takes up quite a bit of São Jacinto peninsula, but there’s plenty left to explore… It’s an easy drive, but if two wheels are a better fit for holiday vibes than four, park up at Torreira beach (10 minutes away) to join cycle paths heading north and south along the coast. Once local beaches no longer appeal, paddle along to the famous (and famously pretty) Costa Nova beach 50 minutes from the site, where exquisitely colourful striped beach huts are a happy snapper's dream, or pile into the car for a jaunt to one of three waterparks within an hour and a half. If a city day is called for, Aveiro is about 45 minutes away for museums, gardens, galleries, markets and a particularly pretty train station. For more adventures, carry on beyond the city for the Navio-Museu Santo Andre (it’s on a boat) and the stunning Barra lighthouse, or travel an hour up the coast to the larger city of Porto.
