Albufeira Lagoon – This Lagoon and its warm waters are known as a perfect place for Kayaking, Kite surfing and Windsurfing.

Sesimbra Castle – contemplate the view over the fishing Village.

Portinho da Arrábida. A paradisiacal beach with crystal clear water and white sand in the mouth of the river Sado. It can’t be missed!

Azeitão in the cellars of José Maria da Fonseca to have a tasting of the best regional wines.

Praia das Bicas – visit to the almost wild Praia das Bicas, an unexplored beach with clear waters in the Sesimbra area. From the cliffs you can enjoy a wonderful view of the ocean and of the Sintra ridge in the background.

Admire the Dinosaur Footprints at Zambujal.

Sesimbra – A fishing village located in a bay with calm water. In the village you can enjoy fish and seafood of exceptional quality and take a walk along the breakwater near the beach.

Serra da Arrábida – A climb up to the top of the ridge. You will have no words to describe the incredible landscape presented in front of you! To the north you will be able to see the entire city of Lisbon, the mountains of S. Luís, S. Francisco, Louro and Gaiteiros.
