Throughout your hike, you will get to discover the beautiful cliffs of Sintra till you reach Cabo da Roca, which is Continental Europe’s most western point.
You will walk along the shore of Praia Grande to the Cabo da Roca during the adventure, beginning at the Cascais Train Station. Throughout the hike, you will be treated to breathtaking views of the cliffs. You will also be able to visit forgotten beaches such as Adraga and Ursa. Finally, you will be able to see dinosaur footsteps!
While the trail you’ll be walking on is varied, it’s also extremely easy. The routes are good, and while there are some sandy parts and rough trails, they will not be difficult to navigate. As a consequence, this hike is ideal for families and adults of all skill levels.
Take Hiking sticks, comfortable clothing and footwear, as well as water, energy bars, a hat and sunscreen.

If you want to walk for a shorter distance, we propose the section between Cabo da Roca and Praia da Adraga. Praia do Adraga is an excellent place to end your hike because it has a restaurant right on the beach. Second, there is a road that leads directly to Praia da Adraga. So you may take a cab or Uber (which is likely to be less expensive) back to Cabo da Roca or Cascais.
