A trip to Lisbon is exciting because there’s so much to do in the Portuguese capital, but there are also plenty of beaches in Lisbon loved by locals that you can easily get to, even if you’re only on a short trip to the city.
Portugal’s coast is perhaps best known for its vast stretches of sand and wild waters, making it an ideal spot for surfers. And while the Lisbon has plenty of places where you can catch a wave, the area is also home to several small and quieter bays for those seeking relaxation on their next trip to the edge of the Iberian Peninsula. Whether you want a calm and sandy scene where you can relax and unwind, or a wide-open space with nobody else around, these are the beaches in Lisbon (and some just outside the city) that are well worth a visit on your next stop.
