Beaches

Discover the dream sands of Portugal

Guincho Beach

It is a beach in the municipality of Cascais. On the western Atlantic coast, it is very windy and has good conditions for surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing. This beach became famous in one of James Bond's films "At the Service of His Majesty", where James Bond saves Countess Teresa de Vicenzo from a suicide attempt. The beach is still as it was in 1969. In the 90s, Guincho was one of the locations of the Windsurfing World Cup. Nowadays, several sporting events take place in Guincho on a regular basis, including the National Championship of Surfing and Bodyboarding.

Azarujinha Beach

Azarujinha beach is a small beach in São João do Estoril, hidden at the bottom of a high cliff, behind the summer houses that flank Avenida Marginal.
Access is exclusively pedestrian, through the wall that leads to Poça beach. In addition to this access, there are two staircases, one at each end of the beach, connecting to Avenida Marginal. From the top of these stairs you can enjoy a magnificent view over the entire coast of Cascais.

Poça Beach

Poça beach is located in São João do Estoril, at one end of the promenade that extends to Cascais. It is served by a small car park that has direct access to Avenida Marginal.

Duquesa Beach

Duquesa beach, at the entrance to Cascais, is located on the final section of the wall, between the Palace of the Dukes of Palmela and Chalé Faial, which served as the former court of Cascais. The name of the beach is precisely due to the fact that it was used by the Duchess of Palmela, during the nobility's stays in Cascais, during the bathing season.

Santa Marta Beach

Once a private beach at the house of the counts Castro Guimarães, whose palace, now a museum, has a direct entrance to the beach, Santa Marta beach lives today on the edge of Cascais Marina, in the center of the village.

Estoril Ocean Pool

Situated next to Tamariz beach, in Estoril, this is a swimming pool bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. Formulated in 1953, these pools are an innovative project due to their relationship with the site.

Cresmina Beach

Cresmina beach is one of the great beaches in the Guincho area, alongside the large Guincho beach itself. Following the road from Cascais, Cresmina is the first beach to be spotted, on a long stretch of sand punctuated by dunes. Like Guincho beach, Cresmina suffers from the strong winds of the area and the severe sea.

São Pedro do Estoril Beach

The beach of São Pedro do Estoril is protected by a high cliff at the edge of the Estrada Marginal, a privileged area for those who like angling. There are two staircase accesses, in addition to a pedestrian tunnel under the road. Often the sea has large waves that are quickly covered with surfers.

Abano Beach

Located at the north end of the west coast of Cascais, it is a discreet, small beach nestled between the rocky promontories that precede Cabo da Roca. Located following Guincho beach, it is usually windy and with strong waves. The arrival at the beach is through a dirt road, accessible from Estrada do Guincho

Guincho Freshwater Beach

Freshwater beach, better known as the small Guincho beach, is a small sand niche between the Cresmina beach and the large Guincho beach. Its location makes it sheltered from the strong winds that sometimes strike the neighboring beaches. Another attraction is the existence of a small ocean swimming pool, which, since it is not guarded, requires all prudence and is even impossible during high tide hours.

Tamariz Beach

Located in Estoril, next to the train station, Tamariz beach is the most cosmopolitan in Cascais. Separated from the Casino Estoril gardens by the Estrada Marginal and the train line, it is one of the tourist attractions of the region, bringing together several bars and clubs. Because it is located next to the train station and the bus terminal, it is one of the favorite destinations for those using public transport. It is located 450 meters from Hotel Londres.

Ribeira or Pescadores Beach

Without a bathing vocation, Ribeira beach, better known as Praia do Peixe, Baía or Pescadores, owes its name to the fact that it flows into Ribeira das Vinhas, located in the most frequented area of Cascais, crowning the Bay. Traditionally a fishermen's beach, it has therefore less bathing vocation, since it is still there, and to the fishing port located next to it, that the boats of Cascais fishermen run. During the village festivities, it is on this beach that the famous bull starts are made.

Moitas Beach

The pontoon that the slope is responsible for the accumulation of sand that allows bathers to rest. The area, however, is rocky, which forces vacationers to enter the sea with caution and to see well where they put their feet, so as not to get hurt. Being located in the middle of a pedestrian area, halfway between Cascais and Monte Estoril, the beach has no parking, being accessible via a short walk or bicycle ride
