Guincho beach
Information
- Duration
- 3 h
- Season
- All year; swimming from June to September
- Who it's for
- Walking, surf and kite; for swimming, only in calm seas and with a green flag
A long stretch of sand, open to the north and west, with dunes and pine woods behind and the Sintra hills closing the horizon. It is windy almost all year: that is why it is a beach for surfing, windsurfing and kiting rather than for towels. There is a restaurant, a bar, toilets, showers and a surf shop at the access.
You get there along the coast road (N247), 9 km from Cascais, or by bike along the lane that leaves from the Cidadela. The currents are strong: in summer swim only in the supervised area.
