Three lagoons stretch over a kilometre of the beach where three minor rivers flow into the beach. The lagoons are popular with kite or windsurfers who want to practice while the fierce waves on the beach are perfect for surfing and bodyboarding.

Favourite beaches for families along the coastline are Praia da California and Praia do Ouro though the most beautiful is probably Praia do Creiro and Praia dos Galapinhos. You can explore the wonderful coastline by kayak, boat tour or you can take a dolphin watching boat trip.
Sesimbra is adored by the Portuguese and is famed for the freshly cooked seafood served at the family-run Marisqueira restaurants as well as the pristine beaches. The most popular dish is Arroz d Marisco, a delicious meal of shellfish, crabs and rice that is served in a clay pot and is designed to be shared. There is a wonderful fish market. As it is aimed at the Portuguese, you can immerse yourselves in the Portuguese culture in Sesimbra and it is not expensive. Sesimbra is an area of amazing and diverse natural beauty. There are fantastic, challenging hiking and biking trails through the rolling hills of the Serra da Arrabida. For the less energetic, you can take a drive through the centre of the park and enjoy the fabulous views from Estrada de Escarpa. The Cabo Espichel, a wild and exposed cliff headland, is fantastic with incredible views, a unique church, lighthouse and two sets of dinosaur footprints. The bleak headland was once an important pilgrimage destination, hence the church complex with pilgrim’s accommodation.
You can easily visit the working port of Setubal with its colourful harbour and pretty waterfront and quickly drive into Lisbon.
