Great place to go to the beach and have a walk through the village. You can take the funicular to the higher part of the village for great views. In the winter this is where you can see the biggest waves ever surfed! It's touristy but it's also nice to see the old people in traditional clothes drying fish in the traditional way.

It's a beautiful bay. You can do a great walk here from the lighthouse on the northern point, all along the beach front to the roman ruins on the southern point. This is also a calm bay to do open-water swims and a good place to test your leg muscles by running up the dune.

Sightseeing
Obidos is a lovely medieval castle. It gets busy during the day but if you go early-ish it's very nice. You can walk over the old wall all around the village for great views. During July and the first week of August they host the medieval festival which is definitely worth going to.
