Oliveira de Frades is one of the three portuguese municipalities to have exclaves (excluding islands), the others being Vila Real de Santo António (two pieces separated by strip of land bellonging to Castro Marim, both with coast line) and
Montijo (the main though smaller part has coast line); no part of Oliveira de Frades has coast line.
