Review & FAQ:

Troia Peninsula is a sandbar that stretches out into the Atlantic Ocean. A handful of resorts, hotels restaurants and shops are perched on the far end of the peninsula. The midsection of the peninsula is part of the Reserva Natural do Estuario de Sado, a natural preserve that protects the Sado River Estuary.

Troia is easily reachable by ferry from the nearby city of Setubal. The beaches on Troia that are close to the ferry terminal tend to fill up during the summer months, but visitors can find plenty of space if they head to the southern point of the peninsula. Map
