Coastal Boat Adventure with 100Salpicos in Sesimbra

Sesimbra, a coastal town in the Setúbal district of Portugal, offers a rugged stretch of Atlantic coastline often overlooked by mainstream tourists. This region is defined by dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and pristine waters sculpted by time and tide. 100Salpicos Boat Tours Sesimbra invites adventure seekers to engage intimately with this raw coastal landscape during their Tour Praias Secretas e Baias, a 2.5-hour boat excursion through some of Sesimbra’s most secluded beaches and geological marvels.
