Cascais and Estoril
Situated close to the sea and traditionally a fishing village, Cascais enjoyed an important period of development in the 14th century, when it was a major stopping off point for boats on their way to Lisbon, turning it into a very busy port at that time.
It was, however, in the second half of the 19th century, when sea bathing became a popular activity, that Cascais was given the impetus that transformed it into a very fashionable summer resort. The great driving force behind this transformation was the king of Portugal, Dom Luis I, who, in 1870, converted the Fortaleza da Cidadela into the summer residence of the Portuguese monarchy. The kings example was immediately copied by the nobility, who built palaces and extremely beautiful villas in the town, where they spent the hottest season of the year, completely transforming the appearance of the former fishing village.
Cascais also began to attract the attention of the curious, who came here to enjoy a stroll by the seaside, and access to the town was greatly facilitated by the opening of the railway line between Pedroucos and Cascais in 1889. Nowadays, Cascais is a very lively and cosmopolitan town that still preserves a great deal of its earlier aristocratic atmosphere.
Particularly recommended is a stroll through its streets, where you will find shops of the highest quality, or perhaps you might prefer to enjoy a few moments rest at one of the many outdoor cafes and restaurants scattered about the town. The beaches continue to be one of Cascais’ greatest attractions, and it is possible to choose from amongst those that are situated in the town’s sheltered bay or those a little further away in the area around Guincho, (already forming part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park), where there are excellent conditions for surfing and windsurfing. The Boca do Inferno (literally the Jaws of Hell), an inlet along the coast that is surrounded by steep rocks and caves, continues to be a natural curiosity attracting many thousands of visitors to marvel at the brute strength of the sea.
A special mention is reserved for the local cuisine, especially the fresh fish and shellfish dishes that are served here and which can be enjoyed in the region’s many restaurants.
ESTORIL:
Estoril, a world-famous resort, is a true cosmopolitan centre with wonderful nightlife and all the infrastructure for a summer centre - beaches, excellent hotels, golf courses, a casino and even a motor-racing circuit.
The planned transformation of this area began in the early 20th century, due not only to its proximity to the sea, which was starting to be a focus of attraction, but also to the existence of thermal springs, at that time much in vogue (they are currently closed).
The centre of this new luxury resort was the Park and the Casino (Estoril´s trademark), surrounded by buildings, arcades and excellent hotels.
Estoril was previously known for the several forts along the coastline which ensured the defence of one of the possible entries to Lisbon, and for the Retreat built here by the Mendicant Order of Franciscan Friars in the 16th century, now the Salesian College.
In the 1930s Estoril became one of Portugal´s main tourist centres, and the chosen place of exile for a lot of deposed European monarchs (King Juan Carlos of Spain among them).
During the Second World War it was the refuge of writers, politicians, artists, businessmen and many Jews persecuted by the Third Reich.
Sand and Sun
PRAIA DA CONCEICAO:
Located next to the Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Chapel after which it is named, Conceicao Beach does not extend very far although a low tide it links up with the Duquesa Beach.
With good access by stairway or ramp leading up to the promenade, this beach always has its own particular atmosphere guaranteed by the range of restaurants, bars and terraces here.

PRAIA DA DUQUESA:
With access from the centre of Cascais, Duquesa Beach owes its name to the small Palace of the Dukes of Palmela located to the west.
The Beach is easily reached from the promenade where there are a series of restaurants, bars and terraces.
PRAIA DA PAREDE:
Due to its excellent combination of iodine and hours of sunshine, Parede Beach has long been in demand for its therapeutic properties in treating bone disease and to such an extent that an Orthopaedic Hospital was built here. However, the beach itself is not the best for bathing given the number of rocks present just off the coast.
There is direct access either from the Marginal coast road or tunnel from the town, Parede Beach is further catered for by a number of welcoming restaurants and cafe terraces.
PRAIA DAS AVENCAS:
Surrounded by cliffs that may be appreciated from the Marginal coast road, Avencas Beach is home to marine flora and fauna of significant importance with the site due to be declared of special biophysical interest.
The Beach, limited in extent and adjoining that of Parede, is reached via the tunnel linking the car park located to the north of the Marginal coast road.
PRAIA DE CARCAVELOS:
With the Sao Juliao da Barra Fort dominating at one end, Carcavelos Beach is the largest expanse of sand on the Estoril coast and regularly hosts beach volleyball and football competitions. Given its proximity to Lisbon and easy means of access, Carcavelos Beach is highly popular during the summer while in winter it is mostly given over to the surfing and bodyboarding communities, brought in by the excellent conditions here.
Next to the Beach, there is a wide choice of renowned restaurants in addition to bars and terraces just perfect for some quality time in the sun.
