Car: Necessary
Dear Holidaymakers!
We have been living in Portugal for almost 20 years now, constantly enjoying exploring the coastline, However, we are still amazed by the unique charms of the Obidos Lagoon; with its unspoiled beach, it is one of the best places to appreciate nature with its crashing waves and clean sandy beaches. This area is known for its fantastic water sporting facilities including windsurfing, surfing, kitesurfing, catamaran sailing etc..If you are keen on these types of sports, take a chance and visit Escola de Vela (ref) Sailing School. It is definitely the sport both for professionals and of course beginners. However, in our opinion one of the biggest advantages of the area is the warm and safe family bathing in the lagoon. We have two small children and we know how to appreciate this whilst living alongside the Atlantic.
The Obidos Lagoon is also known for being a eco tourist location; bird watching enjoying the fresh air, beautiful scenery and strolling around simply enjoying the local attractions.
One more word concerning the climate...its mildness was one of the reasons why we settled here. It is neither too hot and tiring which can be found in the Alentejo and the Algarve during the summer nor so cold and unpleasant in the north over the winter.
What we personally like about this location is the closeness to everything. For instance you can reach Caldas da Rainha, a small thermal town with a good infrastructure in just 10 mins by car.You´ll find there: hypermarket and over 10 supermarkets, shopping centres, groceries, veg and fish markets, boutiques, spas and beauty shops, etc.. Smaller children would enjoy playing in D. Carlos Park ( beautiful romantic garden with a lake and huge playground). The elder and more adventurous teens could have fun in Caldas Skate Park.
Lisbon is 60 mins drive and there are many other places to visit. Fatima, the biggest Catholic shrine, Batalha a Gothic masterpiece and Obidos of course the spectacular Medieval Town and World Heritage Site.
You also find a wide range of aqua parks in Peniche and Nazare.
If you are already keen golf player or looking for a good golf coarse, don´t miss the opportunity and visit Praia del Rey.
We hope you enjoy your stay in our apartment on the Obidos Lagoon!

Why the Owner Chose Foz do Arelho, Portugal:
Tired from long nordic winter, fed up with city stress, we decided to escape to Portugal in order to find a secure and calm place to live and work. Somewhere close to the sea but far away from the mass tourism of the south of Portugal.
This apartment fascinated us with its unique location. Closeness to everything, good infrastructure and safe lagoon bathing made our living on the seaside very comfortable and pleasant.
No doubt, the unique charm of Moinhos da Costa is in its breathtaking panoramic views. The Obidos Lagoon is always changing offering different pictures during the day.The 60 m2 terrace is fabulous! Moinhos da costa and its veranda made us a kind of outdoor people. We definitely spent more time outside than inside. Another point that convinced us was the high quality of the construction: the condo was built by a Canadian and that reflected not in the material as in the planning, Moinhos da Costa has very spacious and light rooms and high ceilings. Condo facilities such as a lovely swimming pool and tennis court also attracted our attention . Soon we understood that we were going to enjoy them all on our own as the other portuguese owners lived in Lisbon and only came on holidays.
As a mother of two children, I was always concerned about the safety of the place. Moinhos da Costa is indeed very calm and secure.
We spent marvelous years in this apartment ( we moved out because we wanted to cultivate some land in the future). So, we hope you also enjoy your stay!
