We love going to Sao Martinho. The town is so friendly and relaxing, yet we've never been bored as there are so many interesting places to visit within an hour's drive, including a number of world heritage sites and even a dinosaur coast. There are also lots of lovely beaches. It's an easy drive from Lisbon and there are lots of good restaurants at exceptional value. The bay is almost fully enclosed, making it the safest and warmest in Portugal. The Silver Coast is different from the Algarve - still relatively 'undiscovered', sophisticated yet charming, and not full of crowds. It's where the Portuguese like to go on holiday. In the area there's golf, water sports, a wine route and even a chocolate festival! We hope you enjoy it too!
