About the Beach
Praia de Óbidos sits next to the Lagoa de Óbidos, Portugal's largest coastal lagoon, with a unique setting that combines an Atlantic beach with the brackish-water lagoon. The lagoon is an important habitat for water birds and allows for water sports on water calmer and warmer than the ocean. Surrounding dunes and pine wood plus excellent water quality make it a very complete destination.
