Praia da Foz do Arelho-Mar

The sandy beach stretches along the Atlantic Ocean and connects to the Óbidos Lagoon, creating two distinct water environments for visitors.

The area emerged as a fishing settlement in 1580, centered around Quinta de Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe, which rented lands for agricultural purposes.

King Carlos I of Portugal frequently visited this coastal location, preparing local fish dishes from the lagoon during his visits in the 19th century.

The beach maintains lifeguard services from June 15 to September 30, offering facilities including parking areas, showers, and seaside restaurants.

The location presents a dual swimming experience with Atlantic waves on one side and calm lagoon waters on the other, suitable for various water activities.
