The Atlantic coastline is one of the main attractions of the Silver Coast. You will find long sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs and small seaside towns.

Popular beaches such as Foz do Arelho and São Martinho do Porto are known for their wide views and open space. Even in high season, many beaches remain relatively quiet compared to other regions in Portugal. For those who enjoy being active on the water, the area also offers a wide range of watersports. At the lagoon of Foz do Arelho, a local sailing school provides lessons and equipment for sailing, windsurfing and stand-up paddleboarding, making it an ideal spot for both beginners and more experienced visitors. In addition, organisations such as Intertidal offer guided activities along the coast, including accessible boat tours, allowing guests with reduced mobility to experience the lagoon from the water in a comfortable and safe way.

Beyond the coastline, the Silver Coast offers a varied landscape of lagoons, green hills and walking areas. The Óbidos Lagoon is ideal for a quiet walk or birdwatching, while the inland countryside offers a slower pace and open views. Around the Óbidos Lagoon, a mix of walking paths and occasional boardwalk sections allows for relaxed strolls close to the water, with plenty of spots to pause and take in the landscape. Wooden boardwalks in Salir do Porto / São Martinho do Porto make it easy to explore the dunes and coastline, offering accessible routes with wide views over the bay.
