Foz do Arelho
Lagoa de Óbidos, at the mouth of Foz do Arelho, is a versatile spot between lagoon and ocean on the Portuguese west coast. The bocca forms a vast protected water area with views of the dunes and the Atlantic in the background.
It is a spot appreciated for its regular thermal wind and shallow water areas. You can ride either in the lagoon for flat and freeride or by crossing the dune to catch the waves on the ocean side.
