Costa da Caparica Attractions
Once a small fishing village, Costa da Caparica, 15km/9mi southwest of Lisbon, has developed in recent years into a none too attractive resort, complete with concrete apartment blocks and fast-food outlets. The Convento dos Capuchos above the town was fully restored in 1960 enabling concerts to be staged in the former Capuchin convent in the summer.
Costa de Lisboa - Praia do Sol
The Praia do Sol, a broad beach fringed by dunes, with wooded hills lying just inland, runs south from Costa da Caparica for some 22km/14mi. Access to the remoter beaches is by a narrow-gauge beach railroad that runs as far as Fonte da Telha.
