Peralta beach
58 R. da PeraltaA Very large beach and a long shoreline. Great for surfing!
San Bernardino Beach
24 R. das Berlengas A very small beach, but one of my personal favorites!
The location is wrong on the map, of course! It's a great beach and if you don´t mind the walk you can also use it to reach another beach just to the north: Praia do Zimbral (it is inaccessible by car)

Arts & Culture
Lourinhã is a Jurassic hotspot! Although the main paleontology exhibition has been moved to the Dinosaur Park, there is still plenty to see here. The gift shop has a good assortment of dinosaur-related items. My personal favorites are copies of incredible artwork submitted to the museum's scientific illustration contest.
