Portugal is a lovely country and nowhere is that more clear than the beaches around Cascais. Sunset lent a gorgeous light to the view and the weather even in November was perfect for an evening...

Spectacular beach with magnificent rocks, marvelous water and great waves for different water sports. A bit windy - which I like a lot. A few great bars and cafes around, as well as hotels to stay. The sounds of the waves are soothing and intense in a good way. It’s a bit colder beach than other beaches due to the wind. Great place to watch the sunset over the ocean!

Unbelievable views and waves. The beach is so big, so you will need to take about thirty minutes walk to reach out the end of it! I loved it from the first moments here! It’s no problem to take bus or uber to get here. I would recommend spent at least several hours here. As views will stuck you for long time 😅
