At the top of the cliff, above the town, the former Franciscan convent of the Capuchos has a viewpoint next to it from which you see the whole Costa da Caparica: the line of beaches to the south, the pine wood and, on clear days, the Sintra hills to the north. It is about five minutes by car from the centre, heading up towards Caparica. It is a good place for sunset before going back to Lisbon.
