The Best Sight in Guincho, Sintra, the Estoril Coast, and the Setúbal Peninsula

Surfers can always be seen braving the waves here regardless of the season. The undertow can be dangerous, and even accomplished swimmers have had to summon lifeguards. If you prefer something more sedate, this beach—with the Serra da Sintra serving as a backdrop—is an ideal spot to watch the sunset. Amenities: food and drink; parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: sunset; surfing; windsurfing.
