About

AREIA BRANCA, BEACH AND DINOSAURS
You’ll find the Youth Hostel of Areia Branca right on the beach. This beach has fantastic conditions not only for surfing and bodyboarding, but it also has good spots for fishing and diving.

In addition to having a breath-taking sea view, it allows you to be close to the city of Lourinhã and easily access the local attractions.

Known as the city of dinosaurs, visit the Lourinhã Museum and Dino Parque, the only outdoor dinosaur theme park in Portugal! Also trail the famous beaches of Baleal and Peniche and, at the end of the day, enjoy the nightlife of Areia Branca and the nearby villages.

This hostel could be a jewel. Instead, it's not managed properly. Off-season it is overstaffed by people who watch tv or internet films all day. Hostel remains empty or has 2-4 guests. The dorm floor smelly, washrooms terrible foul smell, showers miniscule, etc. Dorms are crammed, humid, no lockers, and with the surf a few metres away, too noisy. No kitchen, no microwave, and some staff too impolite. To be avoided. It should have been closed long ago, but it's Govt owned by Movijovem .

Basic and a bit outdated, this is nonetheless a comfy and delightful hostel, with helpful staff, stunning balcony views down the long coast and beach access right outside the front door. Very filling European breakfast of coffee, bread, jam, cheese, ham, and cereal included, and excellent WiFi coverage throughout the building. No lockers, but who needs them in a place like Praia da Areia Branca.
