About Caparica

Costa da Caparica is Lisbon's main seaside resort.The family atmosphere, restaurants and beachside cafés full of tanned surfers make it very enjoyable. The beach stretches north towards Lisbon and south away into the distance, and the water is of good quality. A mini- -railway (May– Sept daily every 30min from 9am–7.30pm) runs along the 8km or so of dunes to Fonte da Telha – each of the nineteen mini-train stops, based around one or two beach-cafés, has a very particular feel.
