Esteiro Beach

Esteiro Beach (Praia do Esteiro in Portuguese) is a wide maritime beach of Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal in the civil parish of Aver-o-Mar.

Esteiro Beach is located in the right bank of the small Esteiro River, the other bank is known as Fragosa Beach. Due to small size of the river, often also called a rivulet, the estuary can be easily crossed even by children during most of the year.

Famous quotes containing the word beach:

    There I was dragging the ocean, that knock-out,
    in and out by its bottle-green neck, letting it chew
    the rocks, letting it haul beach glass and furniture sticks
    in and out.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
