Pool and Garden Overlooking Bay

Since the beginning of the century, the thin sands beach of the shell shaped bay, attracts tourists. There is a little hotel, an apartments hotel, some residential and pensions, camping parks and guest houses. Many people from Lisbon come here for the weekend. The restaurants have many fish specialties and sea fruits specialties. There is a daily market (except Mondays). The terraces, cafes and bars are very inviting and relaxing. In July and August the place is lively with Portuguese holiday makers, most other times it is very quiet. The local beaches are wide and sandy and vary from heavy waves to safe shallow sand. The first King Afonso Henriques, gave this land to the Cister Monks in the XII century. They used it as sea port to transport wood form the pine forest of Leiria. This wood was also used to ship building. All across the bay, there’s Salir do Porto where in those years they extracted salt. The ruins of a medieval Customs House can still be visited.
