"a seemingly endless beach" Costa de Caparica by arasnosliw

Costa de Caparica Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 47 photos

South of Lisbon, this 30 kilometer stretch of beach lines the Setúbal Peninsula. The stretch is broken up into several beaches, and the northern ones are always the most crowded due to their proximity to Lisbon. If you venture a bit further south, you may find a beach in complete solitude and can enjoy nature's beauty without all the chaotic crowds.
