We are positioned in a gifted region in that we boast 2 distinct beach areas... the Óbidos Lagoon is ~1700m away (an enjoyable 24minute walk), and the Atlantic Ocean is just a bit further.  They are connected by a natural causeway we call «A Aberta», which literally means "The Opening".  Witnessing the power of the North Atlantic high tides here at this area of the beach is quite spectacular!  You will also enjoy memorable sunrises & sunsets, moonrises & moonsets, and magnificent star filled skies.

The award-winning Ocean Beach (Praia do Mar) is proud to fly Europe's distinguished Blue Flag.

During July and August the town provides a free shuttle bus service to the beach.  The closest stop is ~900m away and the bus route provides beautiful views of our town and coastline.
