Penedo Furado Rock Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Penedo Furado dates back to the Jurassic period, when the sea bathed this inland area, close to Nadadouro. It is now a huge rock, light brown in colour and on the side facing the Óbidos Lagoon, signs of erosion are visible, with deep cavities and one of them ended up going through the rock, forming a passage.

Óbidos Lagoon Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice road to cycle on along the lake. Preferably taken from north to south so you get the bennefit of the wind from the north.

Óbidos Lagoon

Highlight • Lake

The Óbidos Lagoon is the largest coastal lagoon system on the Portuguese coast. It has a total area of approximately 6.9 km2 and an average depth of two metres, with elevations ranging from half a metre to five metres. It extends upstream essentially through two channels, to the west by the Braço do Bom Sucesso, and to the east by the Braço da Barrosa.

It shares a land border with the municipality of Caldas da Rainha to the north (parishes of Foz do Arelho and Nadadouro) and with the municipality of Óbidos to the south (parishes of Vau and Santa Maria). To the south is the Poça do Vau and to the west it is connected to the Poça das Ferrarias. It has a maximum length of 6 km and a width that varies between 1 and 1.5 km, with a preferential NW-SW orientation.
