A surfer crouching in the evening sun
Once upon a time in Hawaii, a man called Duke Kahanamoku grabbed a 10-foot longboard and the sport of surfing hit the big time. Salt water, sun, sand and a blissfully simple existence combine in surfing to make it an addictive way of life.

    Adraga beach

    Posted by Sintra 13 March 2007

    What a fantastic beach, a sand crescent tucked between tall cliffs, wild and wonderful, with great surfing breakers pounding the shore.

    Take lunch at the restaurant which is great for fresh fish and seafood. You can choose your lobster or crab from the large tank. Recommended are amêijoas à bulhão pato (clams in garlic and white wine sauce),accompanied by a chilled bottle of vinho verde (green wine).

    Walk over the cliffs to the next beach Praia Grande and see the dinosaur footprints imprinted in the cliff face. A wonderful day out.

    Guincho Beach

    Posted by AdrianoG 24 May 2006

    An enormous windswept beach. Fabulous view with Cape Roca and Sintra hills as a backdrop and some of the best surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing in Europe.

    15 miles west of the centre of Lisbon. Take the train to Cascais then catch a bus or get on the free hop-on hop-off bike.
