Costa Nova's iconic 'casas típicas' — brightly striped wooden fishermen's houses along the waterfront — offer striking color, patterns, and reflections. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and fewer tourists; low tide doubles compositions with mirror reflections. Easy access from Av. José Estevão with nearby street parking and pedestrian promenades; no entry fee. Respect residents — these are lived-in homes. Weekdays are quieter.
