Turismo e viagem
Hi! This is a slogan describing the sea-side town of Setúbal in Portugal. The ides is that it is not merely geographically close to the sea, but that it it depends on the sea and more or less lives from it. Any short, sweet ideas?

Look, in the English speaking world by the sea says it all in my opinion...or Seaward which is a very nautical term and has the meaning of connected to the sea....all these long odd phrases people are giving are just not a go in marketing terms..they are awkwared, they are long and they don\'t work.
Now, if someone came up with something better, I would immeidately acknowledge it..sorry, but there are so many AWFUL sites in English about Spain and Portugal that for ONCE it would be nice to have something said well..
that\'s my two cents...

Comment: "Jane, your answer definitely makes the most sense of those submitted. I have hedged my bets and come up with a few different slogans, yours being among them. How about "Setúbal lives for the sea"? It's a variation on your last suggestion, and not too flowery. I also thought of something like "Love affair with the sea", but maybe that's just a bit too sugary sweet and OTT. Thanks for putting your thinking cap on :)"

português term (edited):
Set�bal, virada para o mar
Setúbal, partnering with the ocean or Setúbal, over-viewing the ocean
My suggestions.
I would choose also ocean instead of sea, because it really is the ocean (Atlantic) that we're talking about.
Have a nice work!

A suggestion! "face to face with" connotes a level of intimacy and interdependence. Best, Maria

Seturbal, city turned to the sea
Penso que esta ideia "literal" vai muito bem como lema.
