If you are around Lisbon, you can rent a car and straight through the XXV April bridge you can enjoy the extraordinary town of Sesimbra. Old fashion town on the straight on the sea with dozen of fresh fish restaurants, shops and bar. The skyline of the ocean is absolutely stunning. You will follow in love. Hight recommended.

Ribeira do Cavalo Beach

Reviewed By jfvmarques - Porto, Portugal

One of the most beautiful beaches that I’ve visited in Europe. I felt like I’ve landed in one of the Mediterranean islands when I got to this beach. You need to drive to one of the recommended places on google maps and then walk about 1km and then walk down cliff between the vegetation that finished at this beautiful sandy beach.

Beautiful blue lagoon with white sandy beaches! Very low key. Lots of beautiful, wild flowers, plenty of shaded areas for beachside picnics. Great for bird watching, paddle boarding, kayaking, small boats, fishing - even clamming! Really beautiful place to enjoy the splendor of nature!

Praia de Foz

Praia da Foz Beach has a sand of reasonable size, located in a cove. At north there's a promontory of remarkable height. Further south the beach is bounded by a rocky platform with a flat top, nearly the same size of the sandy area. Sea waters can be rough and having tricky currents. The beach is mainly attended by fishermen. Access is beside the north side of the rocky slab.
