Apartment was lovely and it's in a great position for beach and town. We would recommend the following activities:
Visiting the Mira de Aira cave, huge and amazing, lots of steps to go down so best if kids are reasonably confident, so would say 7+, but really worth a visit despite the journey.
Batalha Abbey, lovely, atmospheric, UNESCO world monument. Great if you like architecture/churches/history etc,including Tomb of Unknown Warriors. We visited on a Sunday, and there was even a wedding taking place.
Obidos, really attractive, and the medieaval festival was on while we were there, which was an experience.
The pool and tennis court are great - loved by all of us.
The facilities in the apartment are great, I forgot a cool bag and freezer block, so the fact that one was supplied was useful. Thankyou.
The Rede Express bus to/from Lisbon is excellent, a far cry from the coach trips I remember as a kid! Fast and comfortable, including reclining seats!
When we arrived it was incredibly windy which was a bit of a surprise, and to escape being sand battered, we walked around to the lagoon area with the massive sand dune. It is a bit of a walk (20 mins), but all children seem to love that dune! It is very hot there as it is out of the breeze, so sun cream and probably not too long is best advice!
We had a lovely holiday and the apartment is lovely. If you hire a car there is also so much to travel to see, beaches and lovely towns.

Our five person family stayed in this apartment for two weeks. The apartment was as excellent as it was described beforehand. It was very well maintained and equipped perfectly. Only thing we were missing was some bigger pots & pans to make food for our 3 growing sons...
During our stay we mainly lay on the beach and visited some historical sights nearby. The tennis court and the swimming pool gave activity for several hours per day for our sons.
It was very nice that the owners have made a welcome folder which contained tips for restaurants, best beaches, sight seeing, activities etc. We tried some of the restaurants and they were all very good. We will warmly recommend Sao Martinho do Porto and this apartment to our friends!

We stayed in this new apartment for 4 days in June 2009. The apartment was spacious, exceptionally clean, well equipped, high quality and more than satisfied our expectations. Whilst we had a car, we did not need to use this in Sao Marthino itself as you can be in the town centre or on the beach in about ten miuntes by flat easy walking. We found the owners guide pack to the area to be very useful. We used several of the restaurants and were not dissapointed in any way.
We would not hesitate to use this apartment again.

We were only able to stop at this apartment for a long weekend and had never been to this area of Portugal before so did not know what to expect. We arrived in the evening so couldn't see much of the surrounding area but the apartment was a lovely surprise, it is stunning. It's extremely spacious and of a very high quality. There wasn't anything we were short of, everything was catered for.
All the information provided was very helpful and we can't wait to return for longer next time to explore the area.
