And besides picking up the ECO XXI Green Flag award, Cascais has also been distinguished as a Quality Coast, both accolades that endorse the most sustainable coastal areas in Europe. The region is also part of the Beach for All programme in which inflatable wheelchairs are made available for people with handicaps or reduced mobility during the bathing season. At this time of the year, visitors will often see groups of easily-identified local volunteers helping out with a range of tasks such as beach-cleaning, healthcare and tourist information to ensure that your experience is a safe and enjoyable one. Geographically, the region’s beaches are divided into two distinct categories. In the more urban areas where pedestrians have better access, idyllic beaches are set in delightful little coves surrounded by elegant houses and palaces in the style of the Riviera. Lined with bars and esplanades, the seaside promenades have lots of things going on and a cosmopolitan air about them. The region has many other beautiful beaches, some a bit further away but still easily accessible, especially those protected by cliffs in the middle of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park where the water is less calm but very rich in iodine. Owing to their favourable natural conditions and facilities, most of the beaches on the Cascais coast are a must for people who enjoy surfing, body-boarding, kite-surfing, OUR windsurfing and stand-up paddle-boarding.

  • Lisbon Best Place to Visit
    Lisbon best place to visit Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is one of Europe's most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities. Set over a series of hills near the mouth of the River Tagus, it's a place inextricably linked with the sea. Intrepid navigators embarked from here in the 15th and 16th centuries to sail unknown waters and chart new lands, and the legacy of this golden Age of Discovery underpins much of the city's culture and heritage. 1. Castelo de São Jorge: An Iconic Landmark The most recognized of Lisbon's major attractions, St. George's Castle commands a glorious position near Alfama on the crown of a hill overlooking the Portuguese capital. This is one of Lisbon's most popular tourist destinations. 2. Mosteiro dos Jerónimos: Built in Honor of Portugal's Age of Discovery A highlight of any Lisbon sightseeing tour, the 16th-century Jerónimos monastery is one of the great landmarks of Portugal, a stunning monument of immense historic and cultural significance deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage Site accolade. Built to honor Vasco da Gama's epic 1498 voyage to India, Jerónimos is as much a symbol of the wealth of the Age of Discovery as it is a house of worship (construction was mostly funded by trade in the spices brought back by da Gama). 3. Oceanário de Lisboa: A Modern Aquarium The Lisbon Oceanarium is one of Europe's finest aquariums, and one of the largest in the world. It's also arguably the most family-orientated of all the city's visitor attractions.
