Situated in Lisbon Coast, Óbidos is considered to be one of the jewels of Portugal's national heritage. It's outstanding architectural beauty is reflected as much in the winding narrow streets, and elegant white washed buildings and balconies decorated with flowers as in the ancient churches and the magnificent Moorish castle whose high protective walls encircle the town.
Óbidos lagoon is one of the largest salt water lagoons with a magnificent sand bar situated between it and the sea, supporting a great variety of flora and fauna. The protected beach and dunes make it a perfect place for water sports.
The dune golf course of Praia D'el Rey was voted the best in Portugal by Golf World Magazine (15 km from the villa).
The historic towns of Alcobaça, Batalha and Mafra are well worth visiting as well São Martinho do Porto with it beautiful bay.
