Praia da Ursa, Sintra



Praia da Ursa is a gorgeous 30-minute walk from Cabo da Roca, but the effort is well worth it. This little paradise is devoid of tourists and is only reachable by a hard descent along a scree-covered slope. The narrow cove, which is just about 50 meters wide, is a perfect spot to watch the sun go down in Lisbon. This beach is a great option to bring a picnic and just enjoy the stunning view that opens in front of you, which is what we advise. The waves and currents in the Atlantic are strong, so be careful if you decide to swim.




Costa da Caparica



This place is known for its wide coastline, which is divided into different beaches. Some of the beaches offer a variety of trendy bars where you can enjoy a good meal and a cold beer. It is also a great place for surfing; you can always make an appointment for a surfing class.
