The Fishermen's Quarter Beach is located on the coast of Espinho, in the locality of Silvalde, more specifically in the area known as Bairro da Marinha. This oceanic beach stretches along the city's southern seafront, integrating into the urban environment while maintaining a distinctive character that connects it to its roots.
The beach's name reflects its deep connection to the local fishing community. It is common to observe the presence of traditional fishing boats on the sand, an image that evokes the region's maritime heritage and the activity that still shapes the neighborhood's identity today. This coexistence between leisure space and fishing life offers an authentic glimpse into local daily life.
With approximately 1.1 kilometers in length, the Fishermen's Quarter Beach features an inviting golden sandy beach. At its ends, two jetties stand out, projecting into the Atlantic and contributing to the uniqueness of the landscape. In the middle of the beach, the Silvalde Stream flows into the sea, and its mouth is delimited by a stone structure that naturally divides the sand into two parts. For those looking to enjoy a swim, the southern section of the beach is generally considered the most pleasant for bathing.
