Day Trip to Parque Natural da Arrabida, Setubal with Kids

Hello all, my family will be in Portugal next month :) YAY. My two children (1 year old and 4 year old) will be coming with us, and we will be renting a car. For the last part of the trip, we will be spending five nights in Sintra (four full days).

We plan to spend our days as follows:
Day 1: Arrive early evening (from Porto)
Day 2: Lisbon (Belem, Alfama)
Day 3: Arrbadia, Setubal
Day 4: Sintra morning / Lisbon Oceanario Area
Day 5: Sintra / Cascais (return car)
Day 6: Department morning (LIS)

The pictures, beaches, views, etc. look amazing in Arrbadia. Do you recommend spending a full day here and Setubal? What are your suggestions for this area? Does this itinerary look realistic? We enjoy food, scenery, beaches, exploring architecture, parks, playgrounds, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Hey Mike from UNC,

You are right. The pics of the beach and landscape look awesome. I would recommend staying overnight and take your time to cherish the scenery and not have to rush back.
