The westernmost beaches of Europe are located near the continent’s sunniest capital. Lisbon’s abundance of sunshine, mild temperatures, and long stretches of sand make it one of Europe’s most blessed cities and a one-of-a-kind tourist destination, combining urban pleasures with seaside fun. With a varied and beautiful coastline, it is the European capital closest to sandy beaches, facing the Atlantic. The majority of it carries the Blue Flag, which indicates cleanliness and water quality, and it is also a popular surfing destination in Europe. There is always a spot for you whether you head west to the resort towns of Cascais and Estoril or south to the Caparica coast.
