Cascais, Estoril & the Coast
A relaxed day along the Atlantic. Grand Estoril, seaside Cascais, the cliffs of Cabo da Roca, and time with your feet in the sand.
Some days are simply about the sea. You follow the coast road west from Lisbon, past grand Estoril and into seaside Cascais, out to the cliffs of Cabo da Roca where the land finally runs out. And back to the sand, with time to swim if the mood takes you.
A day drawn around the coast
The coast road & Estoril
The scenic Atlantic drive from Lisbon, past the grand belle-époque resort of Estoril and its famous casino.
Cabo da Roca
The westernmost point of mainland Europe. Cliffs, lighthouse, and nothing but ocean ahead of you.
Boca do Inferno
Cascais' dramatic sea grotto, where the Atlantic roars into the rock.
Guincho & the sand
Free time on the wild beach at Guincho, lunch by the sea, and a swim if you feel like it.

Questions, answered
How long is the day?
About 7 hours, door to door, with pick-up and drop-off at your Lisbon hotel: an unhurried day with plenty of time by the sea.
Is there time to swim?
Yes. There's free time at Guincho and along the coast. Bring swimwear and a towel if you'd like a dip; the Atlantic here is bracing and beautiful.
Can we add Sintra?
Cascais and Sintra sit close together, but each deserves its own day. If you'd like the highlights of both, our Sintra, Cascais & Estoril day trip joins them in one loop, or we'll design a tailored route around you.
Is it good for families?
Very: the beaches, the lighthouse at Cabo da Roca and the open coast make it one of our easiest, most relaxed days for travellers of all ages.
How does the day unfold?
We leave Lisbon by the coast road, past grand Estoril and into seaside Cascais, with a stop at the sea grotto of Boca do Inferno. Then out to the cliffs of Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, and back to the wild beach at Guincho for lunch by the sea and free time on the sand, before the drive back to your hotel.
Where do we eat?
Lunch is at your expense, and we're glad to recommend the right table. The Guincho road and Cascais have some of the finest seafood on the coast: see the Cascais section of our guide to the best seafood restaurants in and around Lisbon.
Can you take a larger group?
Yes, for larger groups we arrange a private coach with your guide. Tell us your numbers and we'll tailor it.
