Foz do Arelho stretches from the Óbidos Lagoon to Portugal’s Atlantic coast, encompassing a low-lying meeting point of sheltered water, dunes and open beach. The lagoon is among Portugal’s largest coastal lagoons, giving the area two distinct shores: calmer waters for swimming and sailing on one side, and Atlantic surf beyond the sandbar on the other. Foz do Arelho belongs to the municipality of Caldas da Rainha, a nearby city long associated with Portuguese ceramics. Local restaurants draw on the seafood traditions of the central-west coast, while walks beside the lagoon link the beach to its tidal inlet.
