The promenade (paredão) follows the shore from Duquesa beach in Cascais to São João do Estoril, alongside the beaches of Conceição, Tamariz and Poça. It is flat and paved, with beach bars open almost all year.

A good plan is to go one way and return by train: the Cascais line train stops at Estoril and Monte Estoril, a few steps from the promenade. From Tamariz beach you can see the Estoril Casino, at the top of its gardens.
