The Coastal Route is one of the trails of the Portuguese Camino from Porto. The total distance of the route is 260 km/161 mi. It starts in Porto and goes along the coast till Vigo. It merges with the Central Route in Redondela. In 2024 about 44% of pilgrims who completed the Portuguese Camino walked the Coastal Route

Even though it is called the coastal route only 30% of this route is actually along the coast (compared to 80% of the Litoral Way hugging the coastline).

This route is a good combination of the coastal scenery, countryside, and forest.

To complete the final 100km of the Portuguese Coastal Camino, most pilgrims walk from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela.
