Troia Mar Beach

This beach is absolutely amazing. To reach it, you can take the Fertagus from Lisbon all the way to Setúbal (the last stop). From there, it's just a short 10-15 minute walk to the Atlantic Ferry stop where you can catch a boat to Troia. The journey takes around 75 to 80 minutes, but it's definitely worth it. Additionally, during low tide in the early afternoon, you can even walk across the bay to the other side, which is a unique experience.
