Known forcaparicasurflong beachlocal favorite
A vast stretch of Atlantic beach south of the Tagus — over 30 kilometers of sand — that is the go-to escape for Lisboetas who want serious surf and space. Different sections cater to different crowds, from families to surfers to LGBTQ+ beachgoers. The water is powerful and the waves are real, so it is not ideal for non-swimmers. Reach it via ferry from Cais do Sodré to Cacilhas then a bus, or directly by bus from Praça de Espanha.
