Melides (pronounced [mɨˈliðɨʃ], locally [mɫidʒ̊]) is a parish in the Grândola municipality in the Setúbal District of Portugal.

[1] The village is located directly east of the Melides lagoon and its floodplain and its surrounding landscape includes forests of eucalyptus, pine and cork.

The Dolmen of Pedra Branca is a megalithic burial tomb from around 2500 BCE, while the Necrópole de Cistas das Casas Velhas is a Bronze Age necropolis.

[2] The village possessed a small fishing port, but during the second half of the 16th century, silting closed off the lagoon's exit to the sea.

Ship remains that may have belonged to Schoonhoven have been found inside the Melides lagoon by divers and in February 2021 in the sand bank, following heavy rainfall.
