Foz do Arelho started off being a small village belonging to the parish of Serra do Bouro, and was promoted to the category of parish on 5th July 1919. As far as it can be remembered, Foz do Arelho was always a seasonal vacation resort, chosen by the elite families.
By the beach there are several bars and restaurants which are about 10-15 minutes walk along the promenade and only 2 or 3 minutes by car. The bars and restaurants all have amazing sea views and are very busy and popular with locals both day and night during the main tourist season and at weekends. A better and safer beach you will not find in this area, the lagoon is perfect for young children and the open sea is a great playground for older children and adults alike. |
