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.
