A Region with many colours: the green of the vineyards, the blue of the sea and the golden sands of the beaches. It’s a territory full of intense luminosity where the seacoast and the countryside make a special double par to offer a pleasant climate along all year.
(...) «In Salir do Porto Dunes it is possible to see an extraordinaire landscape to the “Atlantic road” in direction to Lagoa de Óbidos (Lagoon). This Lagoon is one of the most beautiful spots of the west coast in Portugal and has a fragile and privileged habitat but it is mostly the seashell fish that give the importance to the fauna in this area. By the end of the Middle Age, the Lagoon had an extension till the Óbidos village, but the evolution of the coastline, at a constant mutation, has substantially limited its perimeter. Still, the Lagoon has an appreciable extension and is an exceptional place for various water sports practice, such as: rowing, windsailing and windsurfing.
The freeways A8 (Lisboa-Leiria) and A15 (Óbidos – Santarém – A1) allow a rapid and simple access to the “Oeste” beaches.»
