Sintra is home to so many wonderful beaches where you can spend the day basking in the sun, take a dip in the water to cool off, or test your limits with some exhilarating water activities.

Praia das Macas, or Apple Beach, is one of the most popular choices as you can take in striking views of Lisbon from the beach. Praia Grande is a good choice if you’re traveling with little kids and prefer amenities such as nearby shops and restaurants.

For a more secluded and romantic experience, try out Praia da Adraga which is a little cove surrounded by deep valleys, high cliffs, and a stunning panorama of the water.
