Around the marina, you will find several high quality beaches, and ocean swimming-pool and a cycle path by the water. Its strategic location at the mouth of the river Tagus allows you to experience the Atlantic or otherwise look for the more protected and tidal waters of the river.
Classes take place from the Harbor of Oeiras, and in boats appropriately accredited for this purpose.
