[3] Currently the village is constituted by two distinct nuclei: The parish has one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal, a bay shaped like a scallop with calm waters and fine white sand.

According to the travel booking site eDreams, the "natural bay of clear and calm water and surrounded by diverse shops and restaurants offers the ideal conditions for a relaxed family day" and São Martinho do Porto is "perfect for the baths of children, while adults relax in the sand or have a drink on a terrace overlooking the sea".

The bay is only connected to the sea by an opening only a few meters wide, so the waters are quiet, great for children and better still for competitions of sailing, windsurfing or kayaking.

In its interior stands out, behind the altar, a large canvas, painted with oil, with the image of the miracle of São Martinho.

Outside, blue and white tile panels, representing the legend of the miracle of the formation of the "lake", the cove that forms before the entrance of the access bar to the bay of São Martinho do Porto.
