Coastal Route (Caminho da Costa) of the Portuguese Camino is a beautiful alternative walk to the Central Route. Its total distance of the route is 280 km, it starts in Porto and follows the coast till Redondela where it joins with the main route. About 30% of pilgrims who complete the Portuguese Camino walk the Coastal Way. The Portuguese Camino is getting more and more popular, many pilgrims choose this route as an alternative to the Camino Frances.


We have a detailed post on the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon and the Camino de Fatima. If you enjoy walking along the coast you might like the Camino del Norte, the route along the Northern Coast of Spain with breathtaking scenery.


We started in the morning from Sé Cathedral we walked down to the Rio Douro and followed the river all the way out of the city following Senda Litoral. Basically all day you walk along the coastline passing small towns and villages. There are many restaurants and coffee shops on the way where you can stop for coffee or lunch.


A long walking day most of the time following the coastline past small towns, on the second half the trail goes uphill through the beautiful forest from where you have amazing views of the coast and a lighthouse.


Hello Carol. Thank you for the comment. I'm not sure you'll be able to find a place to stay every 5 miles. Some days yes, some you'll have to walk further. I would suggest to walking the Central Route of the Portuguese Camino over the Coastal Route. The Central route has more accommodation options. I would recommend downloading our PDF with accommodation on the Portuguese Camino and planning your walk to see if you can find a place to stay every 5 or so miles. If yes, then book places in advance to make sure you have a place to sleep when you arrive there. Even if there is no place at the desired distance you can always take a taxi to the nearest accommodation and the next morning take a taxi back to the Camino. Many people do so when they can't find a place to stay.Buen Camino


Hello Patrick. Thank you for the comment.There are downloadable PDF files in the third paragraph from the top. One contains stops with distances along the Camino Portuguese and one has a list of places to stay. Using these files you can plan your itinerary the way that suits you the best. The stage from A Guarda to A Ramallosa you can split into two A Guarda to Porto Mougas, 18 km, and Porto Mouga to A Ramallosa, 15 km. Or you can just make the stage a bit shorter and walk from A Guarda to Baiona, 29 km.If the boat from Caminha operates I don't see any reason why not to use it. If the weather conditions are too bad they simply won't go.Buen Camino


The Surf Coast Walk is a world-class 44km multi-use trail that takes visitors through inspiring seaside landscapes interspersed with coastal villages. Its easy access and 12 trail heads make it perfect for a short, long or multiday experience. The trail takes in the beaches near Australia's surf capital, Torquay, including iconic Bells Beach, before striking out for Point Addis' grand vistas of sweeping bays and impressive lookouts. Walkers can learn about local Indigenous heritage on Koorie Cultural Walk and be wowed by more soaring cliffs at Anglesea and Point Roadknight before the Split Point lighthouse grows ever closer on the headland horizon signalling the trail's end at Fairhaven. Along the way, unique villages offer creature comforts and cultural events.


*Please note due to structural damage to a section of the Cliff Walk, detours will be in place between Narragansett Avenue and Webster Street for the foreseeable future. The remainder of the walk will be open for all those walkers who make use of this iconic coastal trail.


The Great Ocean Walk in-land routes offer shelter from strong sun, bad weather, high tides and waves. It is vital that you consider tides, ocean swell and weather before taking an alternate route. Conditions may change quickly. You should only attempt to walk along the coastline during low tide and calm sea conditions. 2ff7e9595c
