Parc Highlights

  • Superbly situated, close to a gorgeous, sandy beach

  • Set amidst a fragrant pine forest, with splendid views

  • It's an ideal place from which to discover the delights of Lisbon

Set amidst the fragrant pine forests of the Portuguese Riviera, close to a superb sandy beach, Guincho is the ideal place for a relaxing city break, or a journey of discovery into the real Portugal.

With a pine-strewn setting behind the Guincho dunes, the parc offers you the rare opportunity to combine a beach and a city break, as the wide, sandy beach with its excellent surfing and windsurfing is just 800m away down a safe footpath, while wonderful Lisbon is only 30km away by car or bus (bus stop just outside parc entrance). The facilities include a new pool complex, plus a range of amenities and activities from tennis courts to takeaways; with the restaurant offering great food and wine at very reasonable prices. But then, here you are in the real Portugal, a world away from the Algarve. Guincho is close to both Cabo de Roca, the western-most tip of Europe, as well as the World Heritage Site of Sintra. You will also find the elegant seaside resort of Cascais just 6km away, an excellent day trip that is entirely in keeping with the relaxed atmosphere you will find here. Our 1st year at this parc.

Out and about

As the parc is located within the Sintra Cascais Natural Park - one of just 13 in the country - you have access to some wonderful scenery. Just a short drive away is the charming town of Cascais, with a bold but beautiful mixture of modern and traditional architecture. The western-most point of Europe, Cabo de Roca is definitely worth a day out, as is Portugal's capital city, Lisbon and can be reached via a bus which stops right outside the entrance and takes you right into the centre. Also worth a visit is Lisbon Zoo as well as the Oceanarium, described as 'a deep-sea diving experience without the risks'!
