Costa da Caparica

Popular beach area near the city of Lisbon (a 15-minute drive). If you want a bit of sun and fun on a laid-back scale, then the beach at Costa da Caparica is for you.

Less nudity and more party atmosphere is the order of the day here. But as you go further south, the area becomes trendier and less crowded.

Arrive in the afternoon, drink cocktails at sunset then head into the village for late-night fun.
