You step off the quay at Sesimbra Marina and the sea greets you with a bright, clean salt smell — the boat nudges away and the coastline of Arrábida unfurls like a map of limestone cliffs and blue pockets. Waves dare you into coves that are unreachable by land; cliffs throw shade over small beaches, and the guide points out caves that have held fishermen's stories for generations.
