Praia Grande do Guincho is located at the foot of the dramatic Sintra hills, offering a stunning beach experience with the Atlantic Ocean's powerful waves. This beach is renowned for surfing and windsurfing due to its constant winds and large waves. It's a less crowded spot, ideal for those who want to avoid the crowds of Lisbon's main beaches. The surrounding natural park protects the area from over-development, maintaining its pristine state. The beach's proximity to Lisbon and nearby Cascais makes it easily accessible by car or public transport.
The scenery is complemented by nearby ruins and fortresses, offering historical and picturesque views. Despite its popularity among surfers, it is also a great spot for a relaxed beach day during summer when the winds and heat are more manageable.
In the evenings, the nearby restaurants provide excellent seafood and fish dishes, making it a complete experience for visitors.
