Golf at Bom Sucesso
Bom Sucesso golf resort is just 3 minutes away by car. The golf course is not as busy as Praia d'el Rey (because it's not as famous - yet) but beautiful too. We do advise you to book in advance to save on green fees and secure the tee time. The best is to book the tee times via the local golf shop Atlantic Golf. Call Tom (the owner) at +351 262 909 470. More information about Bom Sucesso can be found on http://www.bomsucesso.net/portugal-golf. You can also book on-line on http://onlinebooking.tee-times.info/lisbon.php.
Cycling and mountain biking
Cycling along the Obidos lagoon can make a nice day trip. You can make is as easy or difficult as you like, the cycle path goes around the lagoon to Foz do Arelho (a place across the lagoon), which is about 25 km away along the lagoon. Don't forget to plan for a trip back, the lagoon can't be crossed all the time!
For those experienced in mountain biking there are numerous trails exploring the beautiful (and sometimes difficult) terrain in the surrounding dunes and hills.
