[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Foz do Arelho is located in west of Portugal (near 100 km from Lisbon), side by side the ocean basin of Lagoa de Óbidos and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a small village − 9.4 km² on which live 1,223 inhabitants − that as developed since back to the 16th century, and, as far as it can be remembered, was always a seasonal vacation resort.
Foz do Arelho has several magnificent beach spots between the confluence of lagoa de Óbidos and the Atlantic Ocean. One can choose between swimming and sailing in the calm warm waters of the salt water lagoon, or surf and swim in the colder waters of the Atlantic.
Since several years Foz do Arelho has been my week end paradise, and I hope you eache of you have your’s.
