  The beach is beautiful. It was a day of may at 30 ° and the wind makes the atmosphere just, even cold (beware of sunscreen). Bathing was not possible that day. We had a bike ride from Cascais. Be careful because the full-face wind during the go makes the ride much more complicated. On the other hand on the return... The small climbs are done on their own. Between the two beaches there is a trail of discovery in the dunes, on the other side of the road. We went around in about 35 minutes, it's beautiful. I recommend it.
