Cabo Espichel Food Tours

Cabo Espichel is a bleak and wild cape on the southwestern tip of the Setubal Peninsula. It is a dramatic coastline with towering cliffs, barren windless landscapes and huge Atlantic waves. Within this rugged landscape are several interesting tourist attractions, including a pilgrimage church, a powerful lighthouse and two dinosaur footprints. On the cliffs, picturesque coastal footpaths meander north to the deserted beaches of Costa da Caparica.

It is worth visiting the little-known, colorful Portuguese beaches that are about to fill up with visitors, while only the Atlantic breeze walks there. One such beach is in Cabo Espichel. This is the beach - Praia da Baleeira. A secluded bay, lost among the steep cliffs - an ideal place for those who like to be alone. The beach remains wild due to its small size and the steep descent leading to it. Nearby you can see the famous Cabo Espichel lighthouse from the 18th century and the church of Nossa Senhora do Cabo with two bell towers, built in 1701.

If you haven’t chosen an interesting tour for yourself, you can spend your free time by yourself. To spend it usefully, take a boat excursion along the coast of the Luis Saldanha Marine Park to visit the caves and unique grottoes from Sesimbra to Espichel. Upon returning, stop in Balira Bay, and dive into its crystal clear waters, which can only be reached by boat.
