Boat from Setúbal to Tróia and the peninsula's beaches

Tróia is a 20 km tongue of sand between the Sado estuary and the Atlantic, with long beaches of white sand and calm water on the river side. From Setúbal you cross by boat: the passenger catamaran takes about 15 minutes and costs €4.90 each way; the ferry, with a car, about 25 minutes and €21 per car with driver, plus €5.50 for each passenger. Children under 6 do not pay and a bike costs €5.50.

From the Tróia quay, the beaches on the river side are a few minutes' walk. Check the timetables on the Atlantic Ferries website: they change with the season.
