5 minutes drive from the house - mouth of the lagoon open to the sea and opposite Foz de Arehlo. Range of restaurants and so much sand you will always get a spot! Tidal and often has lots of places for children to paddle safely away from the full strength of the Atlantic ocean.

Great company to book a trip to Berlengas, have a more traditional ferry but also a speed boat which is really fun, also glass bottomed boat tour of the island. We found a half day trip was plenty of time and the morning is less busy at the harbour

We love days out in Lisbon! We always travel in a big van as we are a large family and our top tip to avoid having to fight with inner city traffic is to always use the car park at the end of this description below - it is on the East of Lisbon in the modern Parque das Nacoes, not only is it the most beautiful car park in the world right on the water, it is a lovely 20 minutes walk up to Oriente Metro station. With a day pass on the metro for approximately 6 Euros you can visit all the sights of Lisbon (including taking the historic tram 28 all over the city). Tram 28 starts in Martim Moniz square (the side under the castle) and ends at Campo Ourique (Prazeres). Unless you are in Martin Moniz very early in the morning be prepared to queue - an alternative is to get on at the other end of the tram, we had a great day at the zoo, got an Uber to Campo Ourique (11 Euros for an XL car), easily got onto a tram and then rode back into the City for dinner!
