    One of the best "esplanade" at sorroundings. Better only weekdays during autumn and spring. Avoid summer season on weekends when is too crowded.

    Great beach. I have been going here since I was a kid so I know it quite well. Before coming here, check the tide. If it’s low tide, the beach will have rocks and you won’t be able to bathe in the waves. If it isn’t low tide, will be able to. Also, if it’s low tide bring a pair of rubber shoes to walk on the rocks. It’s great with for the kids. You’ll see lots of natural tide pools with local wildlife. This is a local biophysical interest zone due to its fauna and flora. It’s actually the first protected marine area with local management in the country! Caution: this beach is not wheelchair accessible. If you have any physical disabilities and can’t use the stairs go for Parede beach. It’s in the same neighborhood and you’ll have a ramp from the parking lot to the beach.

    Nice, small beach with lots of rocks and sea life. This area is a nature preserve. Recently, a concrete walled pool was installed to take advantage of the low tide.

    Very beautiful beach. Small and quiet, with beautiful vegetation on the cliff. The water is very clear. Bring a snorkel set because you can spot lots of fishes, and other sea creatures. We loved it.

    It's a good place to go with people who don't like the beach to have waves, on the other hand most of the water entry is full of stones , but nothing that bad, water is always excellent

  • 3/5 Domingos B. 3 years ago on Google
    Praia com um enorme potencial, junto a um local tipicamente piscatório, mas transformado em local de férias desordenado e sem as mínimas condições de salubridade.

    Its always full of people and the beach is small but clean I recommend taking an snorkeling mask bc you'll see TONS of marine life near the beach

  • 4/5 Louise T. 10 months ago on Google
    Clean guarded beach with a shower. Small bar where you can grab some food (service slow though). There are fixed umbrellas for 8 euros. Close to the train station.

  • 3/5 Bruno G. 1 year ago on Google
    High tide makes it small for the many beach lovers. It's not nice for swimming due to the rocks. Use the natural pool. Mind the exfoliating sand...

  • 4/5 Debora B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful beach, but difficult access for senior and young children.

  • 5/5 Cristina N. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Inna L. 1 year ago on Google
    Beach very close to Parede ,no touristic but hiding cafe just opposite where you have launch and small cup of tea or cacao . Full on the weekends

  • 1/5 Gabriel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Super dirty. So many cigarettes in the sand. No cleaning at all. Avoid the place. This could be an amazing spot. The ocean deserves better than to be turned in a trash :-(

  • 5/5 Eliana Lucia Vivas R. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice, very local, beautiful beach. The downside is that there's very little parking.

  • 5/5 Steffen W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little beach in Parede, Lisbon. Between the huge stone wall and the sea, there are some meters of sand, where you can relax and also have a refreshing swim in the clean, turquoise water. On top of the wall there is a wooden platform and a few wooden paths were you can enjoy the view down below. The descent is via stone steps. So, I wouldn't recommend bringing too much stuff to the beach. You have to carry everything up, afterwards.

  • 3/5 Tatiana L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great for the view. Not so great for swimming. Lots of rocks. But it does have a natural pool

  • 4/5 Daniel Luz f. 2 years ago on Google
    Excelente beach that got MORE than the usual use for it. These MORE is because of her caracteristcs eg high elevation close or above the sea water.

    (Translated by Google) I live nearby and I keep coming back here. In summer, especially on weekends, very crowded (watch out for ebb and flow !! ... at high tide everything moves closer together, so better look for a place right up on the wall) ... in spring, autumn and winter you can sometimes almost relax here alone with wonderful waves ... sand and sun .. I love this place! (Original) Wohne in der Nähe und es zieht mich immer wieder hier her. Im Sommer, gerade an Wochenenden sehr voll (Ebbe und Flut beachten!! ... bei Flut rückt alles näher zusammen, also besser gleich oben an der Mauer den Platz suchen) ... im Frühling, Herbst und Winter entspannt man hier manchmal fast allein bei herrlichen Wellen... Sand und Sonne.. Ich liebe diesen Platz!
