It is not necessary to travel very far from Lisbon to dive into a maremagnum of extraordinary beaches of more or less rapid access from the capital Portuguese.Nearby lands.
[Ten excellent beaches of Portugal for this summer]
Guincho
The extension of this beach is allied with its overlooking the Atlantic Ocean to offer an unbeatable panorama to spend a full day not far from Lisbon.
Surrounded by athletes of all kinds, we can enjoy the wind in the face or a waves that invite prudence, but also an idyllic environment that includes exquisite restaurants where you can give free rein to the passion for fish.
Repres I saw an option on the rise, which was always there but which stands out even more in line with the hatching of neighboring Cascais.
Galapinhos
Only 50 kilometers from Lisbon and 10 from the urban center of Setubal , the spectacular Galapinhos unfolds, with water so clear that it looks like melted glass and the blue bottom calling for anyone to dive.
We leave the Sierra de la Arrabida behind and, when we look at the immensity, no one would say that the city awaits us so close, but so it is, so that another reason not to miss this refuge that, last year won the vote as the best European beach.
Herdade da Comporta
As it happens in Porto Santo (Madeira), the white sand is wide open in this bulwark of the chic and ecological elitism , which enchants celebrities with their discretion, its dunes, rice paddies and wooden houses.
Forget about shoes and vehicles, walking barefoot or riding a bike is the best option in an enclave that subjugates Madonna , habitual of its restaurants and to whom it is not uncommon to see riding on horseback.
True that it maintains a certain halo, but it is not less that more and more Portuguese and foreigners are encouraged to be seduced by its 12 kilometers of Beaches within a short hour and a half of the capital.
Playa de la Osa
Seen from above, it seems that descending to the shore can bring some danger... but it is not so much and its wild character fills us with its beauty and isolation.
Very close to the Cabo da Roca, you must follow a path to get there, which means that the Access is somewhat expensive.That yes, rocks and fine sand can leave anyone satisfied.
An ideal place to disconnect from mobile phones, among other reasons because there is no coverage in this place that only It can be described as beautiful.Nothing strange if we consider that it claims to be the most western beach in continental Europe.
Sao Juliao
The best Portuguese rock and electronic festival, NOS Alive , includes Sao Juliao in the c daytime circuit that recommends its thousands of fans.And it really meets the expectations, especially of those who like to practice« body board» ;.
Their domains start about eight kilometers from Ericeira and extend to the vast Sintra-Cascais Natural Park , Portuguese pride in the immediate vicinity from Lisbon.
Highly rugged, it benefits from a long sandy beach, very crowded on weekends but with an atmosphere that does not usually reach the saturation of other similar enclosures.
Praia Grande
surfers love it, that is, the currents are assured , not to mention that the waves lurk in front of this vast sandy beach, otherwise calm and with a beauty that invites contemplation and to be enthralled.
It is distinguished as one of the beach environments with better services and that we can find several restaurants and a huge parking lot, which makes the place a paradise to enjoy with the family , for example.
The precaution in The bathroom is even more relevant here, if possible, but almost no one will be disappointed by the benefits of what is the largest beach on the coast of Sintra .
Adraga
Full-fledged wild beach, that is, it implies certain access difficulties and we know in advance that we are not going to run into hordes of tourists.At all.
It is a pleasure Let yourself be carried away by this quiet enclave, where you can enjoy the waves in all their integrity.By the way, a legend also seizes, relative that the last queen of Portugal, Amelia de Orleans , liked to frequent her at side of his lover.
But the best surprise comes from a restaurant located in the same arena, where fish and seafood can satisfy all palates, surely.
Praia das Macã s
¿ Why is it called that? The reason lies in a legend: it is in the vicinity of the Rio Colares and the locals say that its flow dragged dozens of apples to the beach during the picking season, that is, after the summer.
There, about 300 meters from the sea, stands a population that bursts throughout the summer season, and it is said that people liked to go for decades, precisely because they knew they could find those fruits to taste when leaving a dip.
What is clear is that the beach is very well preserved, perhaps because it is somewhat hidden.But, at the same time, it allows you to benefit from good infrastructure in the surroundings , like some hotels and restaurants.In its right measure, without reaching the agglomeration.
Magoito
We are in the termi non-municipal of Sintra and we are heading towards its natural exit towards the sea, towards the rocks, towards an open place with an impressive view when we are approaching.
Maybe the water It is colder than in the Cascais or Estoril area, but the sensations to experience deserve a getaway.Much more in case the tide is low because then we can appreciate the natural pools between the rocks , which They usually delight children.
Sharp and somewhat frizzy waters, but guarantee an unforgettable evening, especially if it is combined with a previous or subsequent visit to the magical town of Sintra, the peak of romanticism that fascinated the same Lord Byron .
Carcavelos
If there is a beach that can be considered as or the most frequented by the Lisbon, that is Carcavelos.There is no doubt.A little more than 20 minutes on the commuter train is enough to reach this extensive corner in the direction of Cascais.
The comfort of having it so close, the spaciousness of the space and the fine sand do the rest and compensate for the fact that, when you get to the station of that name, you still have a walk until we can rest on the shore.
But there it is, turned into a true bastion of the banismo, to the point that the neighbors of the Portuguese capital only say« we go to the beach» to indicate that they naturally go to Carcavelos's.
