Highlights
  • Praia das Bicas - A favorite among surfers, this beach lacks surveillance and has minimal infrastructure. It’s renowned for its clear waters and expansive sandy shore. Access is relatively easy, thanks to a wooden staircase that descends the cliff.
  • Praia de Foz - A brief stop to admire the wild and stunning Foz beach.

Situated on the western coast, between Cabo Espichel and Praia das Bicas, Praia da Foz remains a hidden gem for many.

It features a small sandy beach, perfect for those seeking solitude. The sea can be rough at times, creating currents that swimmers should be cautious of.

  • Cabo Espichel - Explore a rare example of a monumental pilgrimage sanctuary, uniquely designed from the ground up, and a one-of-a-kind civil and religious architectural complex in Portugal;
    • Dinosaur footprints located on the northern cliffs of Espichel Cape. These ichnofossils are tracks left by sauropods and theropods around 150 million years ago;
    • Take a jeep ride to the southern area of Espichel Cape to discover and explore magnificent views and wild beaches with us;
  • Parque Natural da Arrabida - Enjoy a short hiking tour to Hell Beach. This sandy beach has darker sand than usual and is situated in front of a towering vertical rock that narrows the strip of sand. The view from the top is breathtaking. The beach consists of pebbles and large blocks. Located in a small cove, the seabed is rich in biological and geological features, attracting diving enthusiasts.
    • Accessing the base of the escarpment is complex and moderately to highly difficult.
    • Take a moment to contemplate this remote beach and enjoy a delicious snack prepared by our team. In the summer, you can swim in the calm blue waters of Hell Beach;
  • Ribeira do Cavalo Beach - A short hike leads to “Ribeira do Cavalo Beach,” often called the “Portuguese Caribbean” due to its water’s color. Accessible only by foot or boat, it remains a hidden gem on the Sesimbra coast. Upon reaching this wild beach, you’ll have free time to swim in the clear waters. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this beach… The tranquility, scenery, and atmosphere are simply amazing! It’s considered one of the most beautiful wild beaches in Portugal.

A MUST DO! - This is our 7th tour on our Portugal family adventure and this tour ranks as one of our absolute favorites! Andy was an incredible guide and the sites are above and beyond what we expected. A MUST DO if you are in or near Lisbon- cannot stress this enough. Without this tour you are completely missing out on some of the most unbelievable sites and landscapes of Portugal.

A tour of the Portuguese coastline with the nicest Portuguese tour guide. - Andrew took us for a wonderful tour of the Sesimbra coastline. He stopped at a little cafe and treated us to some bread and espresso! Every spot we stopped at was breathtaking and Andrew always had some interesting or funny facts about the spot to share with us. A huge highlight was the Dino tracks and the surrounding area that is simply beautiful. The tour certainly felt like you got to see more of the hidden beauty that only the passionate citizens like Andrew knew about. I can’t recommend this enough.

Day of adventures - As we hoped, the day spent in André's company was full of adventures immersed in beautiful nature and amazement at the magnificent places he took us to visit. Travel by car and explanations without any flaw. I thank André again for making us spend a wonderful day in places in Portugal that few people think about. I highly recommend.

Great tour with unique stops! - If you are looking for a fun day full of surprises and beautiful scenery then Look Around Jeep Tours has you covered. Our tour guide Andy picked us up in Lisbon and we were off from there. We visited many different locations each with a unique draw. Andy was a wonderful tour guide and was willing to tell us all about not only the sights of the day but also about life in Portugal in general. Andy was very intersting and made great conversation. He was also an expert driver and really made riding in the jeep fun. Andy even brought us to see dinosaur footprints which was a really cool surprise. After our time exploring he took us to a beautiful beach where he left us with an umbrella and towel to enjoy our afternoon. My husband and I had a lovely time walking around and just relaxing on the beach. On the way back Andy was kind and let us take in the scenery while he played some excellent music. 5 Stars for sure! Look Around has some great jeep tours that we really felt allowed us to see parts of Portugal we never would have found any other way. Thanks Andy!

Our open-air jeep tour was an adventure! - Look Around Tours manager André Marquês and his partner, Nidia, picked us up at our Lisbon hotel in an air-conditioned van and, closer to the mystery beaches, swapped that vehicle for an open-air jeep. Nidia was our driver, and she gave us an informative and adventurous tour of Castelo de Sesimbra and nearby towns and beaches. We appreciated Nidia's spirit, humor and company!
