You step out of Lisbon across the 25 de Abril bridge and the air changes—salt and pine mix with a limestone scent. The Arrábida ridge rises ahead, its scrubbed slopes daring you to look closer; cliffs drop to beaches where the Atlantic pushes itself into hidden coves.

Bring layered sun protection
Coastal ridges can be windy but otherwise very sunny—hat, SPF, and a light windproof layer are essential.
Carry water and snacks
You’ll be out for roughly 8 hours with short walks between stops—1–2 liters of water and a light snack will keep energy steady.
Wear grippy shoes
Beaches and viewpoints include uneven limestone paths and stairs—closed-toe walking shoes help prevent slips.
