Lisbon Coast

(Local Name: Costa de Lisboa) The Costa de Lisboa, or "Lisbon coast", is the name given to the coast of the peninsula formed by the Serra da Arrábida and its northern outliers between the estuaries of the Tagus and the Rio Sado. Although still largely untouched by international tourism the area is very popular in summer with the people of Lisbon and is especially attractive because of its beautiful scenery and fine beaches. The southern section in particular still has appealing and relatively unspoiled places and empty beaches, although accommodation is limited.
