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.

Gorgeous Vistas and Amazing Food - We were picked up by Rui in Lisbon and started our day with a beautiful drive to the Cape, the scenery and church and lighthouse WOW! The photos we got were amazing and the history we learned was so interesting. Bread and the best cheese followed by watching the paragliders and one of us was so close to making the leap tethered to a tandem glider but the wind just didn't cooperate for her to go. Rui was patient with our little diversion to the itinerary and quietly made adjustments over the phone to push our lunch back and it was so so good, lobster and shrimp risotto, baby clams in a delightful broth, great wine and more. Rui was super kind and took the best care of us every step of the way. We cannot recommend this tour and our tour guide enough.
