The Transpraia railway is a narrow-gauge tourist train which starts in Costa da Caparica, a slightly shabby beach resort on the southern side of the Tagus estuary near Lisbon. It has operated since 1960 and has remained virtually unchanged since then. The train links the town with several remote beaches, each with a numbered stop and several with their own beach bars nestled among the dunes. Even at the height of summer the beaches between Costa da Caparica and Fonte da Telha, the terminus of the 9km railway and one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal, remain pleasantly deserted. At present beach 19 serves as Lisbon's gay beach, and nudity prevails along this particular stretch of coast. Other beaches are popular with families and surfers.

Take bus 153 from the Praça da Espanha in Lisbon to Costa da Caparica. Walk along the main road to the beachfront, then follow the boardwalk south until you come across a small railway. Buy a return ticket and alight at any of the 20 stops.
