Where a Lagoon Meets the Atlantic | Foz do Arelho, Portugal, Silver Coast

Foz do Arelho sits on Portugal's Silver Coast, about an hour north of Lisbon, at the one spot where the Óbidos Lagoon breaks through the dunes and empties into the Atlantic. On one side you get warm, shallow, mirror-flat water; on the other, open ocean and cliffs. This is six minutes over and around it. Filmed with: • DJI Mavic 3 Classic (D-Log) • Canon EOS R5 (C-Log 3) • Graded in DaVinci Resolve If you're planning a visit: the lagoon side is popular for kitesurfing and paddleboarding, the ocean side has proper Atlantic surf, and the cliff road south towards Praia da Salgada has the best viewpoints. Nearby: Óbidos, Caldas da Rainha, Nazaré, and Peniche.
