Where to stay overnight between Porto and Lisbon?

Hello,

My 2 daughters (age 32, 27) and I are traveling to Portugal next summer, arriving in Porto on 7/31 AM and leaving from Lisbon on 8/9 late AM. Our original plan is to stay in Porto 4 nights, taking a train to Lisbon. then staying in Lisbon for the remainder of our trip and doing day tours from both of these cities.

Now I'm thinking that we might rent a car for 3 or 4 days, and drive from Porto to Lisbon, staying one night somewhere between these cities, and 1 or 2 nights in Cascais, or somewhere similar near Lisbon and chill on the beach before heading to Lisbon. We would drop off the rental car before checking in to our Lisbon hotel. Revised itinerary would look something like this: 3 nights in Porto, 1 night in ? (looking for suggestions), 1 or 2 nights in Cascais and 3 or 4 nights in Lisbon. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

We enjoyed both Coimbra and Tomar. If you like beaches, then Nazaré might work. It is a typical beach town and will likely be very busy that time of year.
