Grande at the end of August 2012. You can, of course, hire water sports equipment there, and when you’ve finished playing in the waves, you can potter off to inspect the dinosaur footprints in the rocks at the southern end of the beach. In nearby Estoril, culture and entertainment are a constant, supported by diverse and high- quality accommodation, including some of the best hotels in the country. The Casino do Esto- ril, the largest in Europe, is one of the most im- portant entertainment venues in Portugal. It offers visitors a huge selection of fun events, from the many different forms of gaming to var- ious daily shows. It also offers several function rooms, bars and restaurants for meetings and conferences. During World War II, Estoril was a centre of spies and diplomatic secrecy, and this provided the region with a cosmopolitan at- mosphere and sophistication.
The wide selection of leisure activities in Es- toril is complemented by superior facilities for working meetings. A long tradition in organis- ing business tourism events, from seminars and conferences to international level meetings, has led to the development of an extensive range of services and support facilities, including the modern Estoril Congress Centre. The Estoril Con- vention Bureau (
www.estorilmeetings.com/en) is a non-profit organisation that focuses on the promotion of congresses, conferences, seminars, fairs and promotional trips and combines this ac- tivity with the excellent infrastructure available in the region, like the Estoril Congress Centre. Estoril has helped Lisbon become one of the fastest growing golf holiday destinations in Eu- rope and it already boasts some of the best golf courses in Portugal. Oitavos Dunes Golf Club is a stunning natural links golf course, and Penha Longa Hotel and Spa Resort and Praia D’El Rey Resort provide superb golf courses and excep- tional accommodation.
