Latest reviews on Lisbon Area's beaches

Galapos beach
10 Sarina Delacroix

Undoubtedly, the most remarkable beach 🏖 that exists on this planet 🌍 This splendid beach boasts of its pristine white sand, translucent water that sparkles in the sunlight, and the lush green mountains of Serra da Arrábida that serve as a picturesque backdrop. 🤩

Praia das Macas
8 Natalia Davidson

This beach is great for dog owners and the locals are very welcoming. The water can be chilly, but the river running alongside the beach provides warmer water. Unfortunately, there is a lot of litter that washes up on the shore and it seems like people don't make an effort to clean up after themselves. I try to do my part by picking up plastic every day, but it's disappointing that more people don't use the recycling bins and dispose of their trash properly. It would be great if we all worked together to make this beach a cleaner and more enjoyable place for everyone.

Praia da Rainha
8 Ryder Kaine

The beach was a delightful spot with pristine sand and a breathtaking vista of the water and the nearby cliffs. Accessible from the train station, it is conveniently located near the tourist hub. However, be aware that this destination is highly sought after, which means that it can become quite congested, and the local bar prices may be steep. But fear not, as you can always opt to purchase a refreshing beverage from one of the many local shops and avoid any inconvenience.

Santo Amaro de Oeiras
10 Alina K.

This stunning beach is a must-visit destination, offering a plethora of amenities such as a playground, cozy cafes, and a soft sandy shoreline perfect for lounging. Although it can get a bit crowded on weekends, it's all part of the beach experience and shouldn't deter you from enjoying this natural oasis.

Praia dos Pescadores
10 Adam Williams

This stunning beach with breathtaking scenery of the quaint village, albeit a tad congested. Its natural allure is undeniable, with crystal-clear waters and pristine sands that beckon visitors to bask in its splendor. However, the influx of tourists can make for a bustling atmosphere, which may not be everyone's cup of tea. Nevertheless, it remains a remarkable destination that offers a glimpse into the local culture and a chance to soak up the sun's warmth.

Praia da Baleia
10 Nivox

Calm beach with sand"
