In Palmela region you can find excellent beaches. Inside the Arrábida Natural Park, the Portinho da Arrábida beach, the Galapos and Figueirinha beaches are small treasures surrounded by a unique landscape. Just before reaching Sesimbra, Ribeiro do Cavalo is one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. On this beach, we find a rock formation in the shape of a horse’s head, a characteristic that gives it its name.
Also Tróia/Comporta is a privileged beach with a view over the Arrábida mountain range. Located south of Setúbal, it has an extension of 45km of sand, the longest stretch of beach in Portugal. It is known for its beautiful fine white sand beaches, bathed by a calm sea.
