Rua da Praia, 4500, Espinho
Been here?
This is an informal parking area on a former airstrip beside the ocean, with no services. Two entrances are suitable for larger vehicles, and the beach and restaurants are within walking distance. Nights can be quiet, although the nearby railway is sometimes audible and cars occasionally arrive in the evening. There is considerable rubbish, while aircraft may fly overhead and land nearby during the day.

There is really a lot of rubbish lying around, and in the evenings a few cars occasionally come for privacy. During the day, a plane may fly directly overhead and land shortly afterward. There is a railway line nearby that can sometimes be heard. We spent quiet nights there, however.
Terrible! Excrement, wet wipes and rubbish everywhere. We arrived in the early afternoon. Cars and vans drove back and forth unusually often, which felt like they were checking the place out. Nearby spots were rated with reports of break-ins and damage. The worst was several vehicles arriving along the runway where sexual acts were taking place. Not for us, so we left.
Nice location near the sea, quiet and peaceful, but surrounded by feces and toilet paper. Too bad; we did not stay.
We spent several quiet and relaxing nights here. The beach and restaurant are within walking distance. Wonderful sunsets. There are two accesses to the runway, both of which are easy to drive on with larger vehicles.
Quiet night on the former airport runway.
The place still exists; the statement about the earth embankment is incorrect.
Unfortunately no longer available. Access has been blocked by an earth embankment.
Very good place to spend a quiet night, with some coming and going in the evening but nothing serious. I recommend it.
A good place for one night. You do not sleep on a former runway every day. Unfortunately, there is quite a lot of rubbish, but otherwise it is relatively quiet, with a beautiful beach very close by.
Open-air rubbish dumps, even though there was plenty of space.
Very quiet place by the ocean. No possibility of emptying waste or filling with water. The beach is just behind the dune.
Very beautiful, quiet place. €1 during the day; otherwise you can sleep peacefully, far from everything, right next to the sea.
We spent one night there and it was fine—a quiet and spacious place.
