Costa Da Caparica Essentials

Costa Da Caparica features a 26-kilometer coastline defined by the Arriba Fóssil, a protected landscape of dramatic cliffs. This selection includes central urban beaches like Praia do Tarquínio and secluded spots like the naturist Praia da Adiça. Beyond the sand, the 16th-century Convento dos Capuchos offers historical architecture and panoramic viewpoints, while the Mercado Municipal provides access to fresh local seafood. Visitors can explore the stone pine forests of Mata dos Medos or visit surf schools established along the Atlantic shore.
