In mid-nineteenth century Aguda was a small group of wooden barracks that housed the fishermen engaged in the fish capture in this area.
With better accessibility the place quickly began to attract more people, especially during the summer, frequenting the beach.
Jorge Correia, together with João Gomes da Silva Guerra, a real state builder of the region, were responsible for the urbanization plan of Aguda Beach, that involved the opening of new streets and the replacement of the wooden barracks for stone houses for the fishermen.
Thus arose the Rua dos Pescadores (Fishermen Street), the first cluster of whitewashed houses.
In 1912 the opening of an avenue linking the railway to the beach, definitely marked the development and urbanization of the place.
