Located on the country's Atlantic coast, the sandy beach lies just 5 km (3.1 mi) from the small town of Cascais. Although the strong undertow can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers, the favorable winds make this stretch of the coastline a good spot to perfect your windsurfing or kite-surfing skills. Several surf camps and schools offer equipment rentals and lessons for all ages and skill levels.

Beautiful beach. It's got wind, waves and stunning landscapes. I biked here from Carcavelos on my one speed! It was a spectacular and easy ride. Total time was about 3 hours to get there! Rode back to Caiscais and took the train home! Solid day!
