LISBON, Portugal (April 12, 2007) - They don't call this stretch of Atlantic shoreline the "Golf Coast" for nothing.
Yes, you'll want to linger on stunning seaside golf courses like Oitavos Golf Club and Praia D'El Rey. But set aside time to explore Lisbon, one of Europe's most vibrant and historic cities, and sample the more secluded pleasures of Sintra National Park and miles of sandy beaches.
Here's a full round of off-course activities on Portugal's west coast.
1. Fort tours: Check out some of the fortifications that chart the area's turbulent history. Quinta da Marinha's Travel Our Way agency runs a tour that covers more than a dozen forts and castles, culminating at the famous Citadel of Cascais.
2. Sunbathing: Plenty of beach to choose from, from the upscale resort town of Cascais to the Marriott Praia D'El Rey resort's two kilometers of private coast. The beautiful Albatroz Hotel has one of the smallest, most private sandy coves you'll find anywhere.
3. Surfing: Choosing between the Portuguese west coast and the Algarve is a no-brainer, dude. This is where the Atlantic first meets mainland Europe, making it the best spot to hang 10 on the continent. Never surfed? Resorts like Praia D'El Rey offer lessons.
4. Wine tours: Portuguese wines have won international recognition, and the west coast is filled with vintners. The city of Porto is the home of port, the popular aperitif.
