Such an amazing beach if you are able to walk down the steep rocky paths/stairs to get there.
Gorgeous sea, although very cold, and beautiful sand. Avoid high tide as the beach shrinks substantially, with limited access to parts.

My favourite beach near Lisbon. Crystal clear waters and beautiful white sand tucked away in a national park.

Ver nice beach, a bit though to access since you need to ‚climb‘ a bit down, but absolutely worth it. Not to many waves, very smooth sand and you’re also able to buy some drinks and ice cream from small shop - so you’re able to spend a whole beach there. Parking is a bit hard too find, there are also some where you need to pay. So we came by Bolt (Taxi).

The beach is a little bit hidden but worth the small walk down. Very beautiful and not too full with people.

This must be the best beach I've been to in Europe! Makes sense it was tagged as one of the best beach in europe a few years back!
Very well maintained natural beach, not much establishments around so you gotta bring your own food and drinks. There's a store with drinks, ice cream, but not much food.
You also need to hike a bit going down before reaching the place.
Unfortunaltely public transpo is difficult because of the ongoing road construction, it would be best to secure you have a car!

Great beach, not much space as a tiny stretch of sand but the views and atmosphere is well worth it. National park on your back with its green hill and the clear blue water ocean in front of you. Not to miss! Parking is a big problem...go early. Don’t litter!

Impressive paradise at less than 1 hour drive from Lisbon. Sorrounded by a natural park area. I think it would be difficult to park in summer. I went in late October though, and we were lucky enough with such a great weather that we even had a bath!

Beautiful beach in Setúbal. To go there you can take the Fertagus train in Lisbon, stop in Setúbal (last stop) and then take the 4472 bus line (direction Praia do Creiro). You need to go down the stairs to arrive at the beach but it takes around 10 minutes only. And it's totally worth it.

Stunning beach. We parked roadside and it’s a small walk down hill may be difficult for some with the rocks but I did it in flip flops and was fine... beautiful colour water Even I if it is freezing! One of the best beaches I’ve visited in Portugal so far

Probably one of the best beaches I've ever been. Went there on a sunny hot day, cozy beach that protects you from wind, crystal clear water. Just overall amazing spot, i really recommend i!

During summer from 10th of June to 30th of September the road is closed from 6 am to 8-9pm! Don't come by car. Take a taxi, uber, moto, or be prepared to park your car far away and walk! Else take the bus but take your mask. According to the locals this year 2022 the big parking of secil is closed.
Else Wonderful beach with white sand and transparent water. Quiet during the week but quiet busy on weekends. Family, dogs etc.. So come early or at the end of the day :)

Amazing, fine sanded beach. Turquose colored, clear water and a spectacular view from above.
Paired with a cool bar and fair prices. Great combination and one of my favourite in Portugal

Simply the bet beach in the area.
You can parl in front of the access.
Its silent, with amazing landscape clean and soft sands, and stunning blue crystal waters

Gorgeous beach at Parque Natural da Arrábida! Although you can’t access it by car during summer months, a short bus ride from Praia da Figueira will take you to its light green waters!

On summer this beach is crowed but on winter is quite, peaceful and still beautiful. Outside beach season, summer time, there is no bus. Therefore you have to walk from Outão to here. It's quite a walk but well worth it

Amazing beach! Unfortunately during the summer the road to the area are close. Be ready to take a 15-20 min walk from nearest car parking.

There is a shuttle bus direct from Figueirinha beach where you can go by car or public bus from Setubal. This shuttle bus is free. You just need to walk a little bit and you will see that is actually worth it for the beautiful landscapes between mountain and beach. You can have both!! The water is cristal clear and sea really blue🤩 be prepared to climb some stairs

Amazing hidden beach! Can’t go by car. You must leave it at the main beach and take a bus. It is recommended to take a bus from the main town.

One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen in my life
