Highlights
- Praia das Bicas - A favorite among surfers, this beach lacks surveillance and has minimal infrastructure. It’s renowned for its clear waters and expansive sandy shore. Access is relatively easy, thanks to a wooden staircase that descends the cliff.
- Praia de Foz - A brief stop to admire the wild and stunning Foz beach.
Situated on the western coast, between Cabo Espichel and Praia das Bicas, Praia da Foz remains a hidden gem for many.
It features a small sandy beach, perfect for those seeking solitude. The sea can be rough at times, creating currents that swimmers should be cautious of.
-
Cabo Espichel - Explore a rare example of a monumental pilgrimage sanctuary, uniquely designed from the ground up, and a one-of-a-kind civil and religious architectural complex in Portugal;
• Dinosaur footprints located on the northern cliffs of Espichel Cape. These ichnofossils are tracks left by sauropods and theropods around 150 million years ago;
• Take a jeep ride to the southern area of Espichel Cape to discover and explore magnificent views and wild beaches with us; -
Parque Natural da Arrabida - Enjoy a short hiking tour to Hell Beach. This sandy beach has darker sand than usual and is situated in front of a towering vertical rock that narrows the strip of sand. The view from the top is breathtaking. The beach consists of pebbles and large blocks. Located in a small cove, the seabed is rich in biological and geological features, attracting diving enthusiasts.
• Accessing the base of the escarpment is complex and moderately to highly difficult.
• Take a moment to contemplate this remote beach and enjoy a delicious snack prepared by our team. In the summer, you can swim in the calm blue waters of Hell Beach; - Ribeira do Cavalo Beach - A short hike leads to “Ribeira do Cavalo Beach,” often called the “Portuguese Caribbean” due to its water’s color. Accessible only by foot or boat, it remains a hidden gem on the Sesimbra coast. Upon reaching this wild beach, you’ll have free time to swim in the clear waters. It’s impossible not to fall in love with this beach… The tranquility, scenery, and atmosphere are simply amazing! It’s considered one of the most beautiful wild beaches in Portugal.

Drive through scenic countryside and secluded beach day - We had a fabulous time on this jeep tour, it was the perfect day trip from Lisbon! You get to drive through the countryside and then make your way to a beautiful secluded beach. We ended the day with some wine overlooking the countryside. Well worth it!

A wonderful day in Sesimbra - The tour was well arranged and full of joy! Andy gave us heartfelt touring from the coastal line to the hike. The beach , Praia dos Bicas, was a highlight of the day. You can rest and enjoy the tranquillity.

AMAZING - It was a fantastic experience , our Guide Andy was extremely helpful , he took us to see the most fantastic places in Lisbon , not having brought a towel to the sea .. he lent it to us who had one more , at the end of the way he also offered us a bottle of wine in a wine cellar , and I would add that he also took a lot of photos with a high resolution, thank you very much Andy for this experience.

June 2024 - Andy was excellent, personable and engaging . The beaches were great, we did not stay and enjoy the beaches due to the weather being seasonally cold but we were given the opportunity.

António is the best ever! - António, our tour guide, is an absolute delight. Hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled around the world. He took us to all the spots (that I can’t remember the names of) while giving us history, fun facts, stories and exchanged jokes. So glad we got to enjoy the company of a delightful human being who we wish all the best to. Hope we can cross paths again in the future.
Highly recommend!! You’ll be lucky if you get António.

Gorgeous Vistas and Amazing Food - We were picked up by Rui in Lisbon and started our day with a beautiful drive to the Cape, the scenery and church and lighthouse WOW! The photos we got were amazing and the history we learned was so interesting. Bread and the best cheese followed by watching the paragliders and one of us was so close to making the leap tethered to a tandem glider but the wind just didn't cooperate for her to go. Rui was patient with our little diversion to the itinerary and quietly made adjustments over the phone to push our lunch back and it was so so good, lobster and shrimp risotto, baby clams in a delightful broth, great wine and more. Rui was super kind and took the best care of us every step of the way. We cannot recommend this tour and our tour guide enough.

A must do for any large or small group! - Thank you Antonio for the amazing tour around Sesimbra! We were all able to kickback and relax and let you drive us all around to the castle and a special winery. Your local knowledge was amazing. We even stopped and learned about the cork oak trees. We will definitely be back. Obrigada my new friend!!
