Near Sesimbra, there are the beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park, which are considered among the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. The most famous one is Praia do Figueirinha, a long sandy shore kissed by calm and crystalline waters.

ABOUT THE LISBON COAST
The Lisbon Coast is a sensational stretch of golden beaches, wave-lashed cliffs and vibrant seaside towns – but there's more to the Atlantic coastline than that. Delve beneath the surface to discover hidden coves, family-owned seafood restaurants and pristine natural parks.
The coast around Lisbon provides an easy, breezy escape from the capital, whose proximity has made it the stomping ground of kings for the last 1,000 years. In summer, Lisboistas stream into elegant Comporta and Cascais to escape the heat of the city; year-round, surfers hang loose on the coast, waiting for the rollers to crash down on the sand.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas on Lisbon Coast, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!

Perfect house for families – combine marvelous beaches and wonderful Lisbon
This is the perfect house to stay in a quiet area, close to some awesome beaches, beautiful villages, and wonderful Lisbon. Everything is as you can see in photos – or even better. We will – for sure – come back again.
Going to Lisbon, we recommend taking the ferry from Seixal and exploring Lisbon by walking. For larger distances, just take an Uber.
When it comes to beaches, the choices are manifold. We were in the lucky position to be there in October so that the gorgeous Praia de Galapinhos was almost “ours”
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
