Walking

Due to its variety of cliffs, beaches, coves, villages and towns and its green nature, this region is ideal for walks. Close by you can walk to São Martinho via a footpath that winds through the dunes, up from the old town of São Martinho and along a path to Salgado beach and as far as Nazaré. Via the Miradouro of Salir do Porto you can go to the cliffs from where you can walk as far as Foz de Arelho. Also around the laguna of Óbidos you can make nice flat walks.

This fairly new park is definitely worth a visit with children. You can see more than 120 life-size replicas of dinosaurs. It is no coincidence that this park was built here.
