About Esteiro Beach
Esteiro Beach is a beach in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal. It is located 136 meters from Coim Beach. OpenStreetMap lists a drinking water facility nearby, and there are 12 food options within 1 kilometer.
Esteiro Beach or Praia do Esteiro in Portuguese, meaning tidal creek, is a beach on the southwestern coast of Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It is adjacent to Aver-o-Mar and the beach has medium to fine sand, with a recovering grey dune ecosystem.
The foredune had coastal windmills, some are preserved including the Luisa Dacosta windmill, a famous landmark, and another windmill was currently recovered. Luisa Dacosta was a Portuguese writer from Vila Real who lived and wrote the most relevant part of her work in her windmill where she lived. Luísa visited Póvoa de Varzim since a child for the beach. But she got in love by the beach on the side of the resort, Aver-o-Mar, almost a desert at the time, where she took roots, and her heart was soon divided by the austere Serra do Marão and the coastal rocky outcrops, the Penedaria da Beirada.
