Praia do Guincho

Guincho · Cascais

Worth it

Worth it — wild, windswept Atlantic beauty, but come for the drama, not a calm swim.

A dune-backed Atlantic beach inside the Sintra-Cascais natural park. Big surf, strong wind, and a horizon of nothing but ocean. Bring a windbreaker.

  • Best time Late afternoon for the light; mornings are calmer for surfing.
  • Getting there A taxi or bike from Cascais; limited summer bus.
  • Good for Surfers, photographers, big-nature walks.
