About the Coast
The spectacular Lisbon coast is a must-see destination for any visitor to Portugal. Offering beautiful beaches that range from sheltered coves to miles of dune-backed sands, visitors can immerse themselves in a variety of quaint villages, unparalleled history, and unspoiled forests.
Cascais is a former small fishing village that was regularly frequented by the Portuguese monarchy during the 19th century. Nowadays Cascais is a lively and cosmopolitan town that still preserves a great deal of its earlier aristocratic atmosphere. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through its streets, where you will find luxury boutiques and a wide variety of outdoor cafes and restaurants to catch a few moments’ rest.
As magical as the town can be, the beaches are truly Cascais' greatest attractions. Choose from those situated in the town's sheltered bay or those a little further away in the area around Guincho, part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. The Boca do Inferno, an inlet along the coast that is surrounded by steep rocks and caves, is a natural curiosity attracting many thousands of visitors annually to marvel at the brute strength of the Atlantic ocean.
A visit to the Lisbon Coast is magical experience that re-invigorates the body and enlivens the senses. Please let the staff at The Oitavos help you plan a fun, invigorating, custom trip to help you get the most from your stay.
