From Carcavelos station to Santo Amaro station along the beaches

(S) Exit Carcavelos station and head south along Avenida Jorge V. When you reach the roundabout just before the ocean, take the underpass that goes under the road and leads directly to Carcavelos Beach.

(1) Turn left and walk along the beach to its end. Climb the small stairs and continue along the rocks.

(2) If sea conditions allow (beware of powerful and sometimes unpredictable waves), go to the rocky promontory to admire the Fort Sao Juliao da Barra. Continue along the sea, join a wide avenue and take the footpath on the right. Walk along Torre Beach and then descend towards the marina.

(3) Continue along the same footpath that runs along the coast to Santo Amaro Beach.

(4) Cross the road via the underpass accessible via the ramp at the beach. Turn right at the exit, then walk back up towards Santo Amaro station (E).

This route is accessible by train from central Lisbon via the Linha de Cascais. The journey takes about 20 minutes. Get off at Carcavelos station (S) to start your hike. At the end of your hike, take the train back to Santo Amaro station (E).

It is possible to swim at the beaches, however, the waves can be powerful and dangerous. Carcavelos beach is also a surfing spot.
