About Praia do Guincho

Praia do Guincho is the wild Atlantic beach inside the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, a broad, exposed strand backed by a genuine dune system with the Serra de Sintra rising behind it and the cliffs of Cabo da Roca visible up the coast. Dark rock marks the northern end; boardwalks fenced against the marram grass carry you down from the car parks to the sand. The wind that makes sunbathing uncomfortable has made Guincho internationally famous for windsurfing and kitesurfing, with world championship events held here since the 1980s, and the big Atlantic swells draw serious surfers all year. Film buffs know the road above it from the pre-title car chase in the 1969 Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Restaurants sit right on the beach, among them Bar do Guincho, and the Michelin-starred Fortaleza do Guincho occupies the old fort on the headland above. Swimming is for the confident: cold, powerful, with rips. Most visitors treat it as a half-day trip built around Cascais.

Tips for staying near Praia do Guincho

  • Wind is the defining feature at Guincho. Bring a windbreak or accept the sandblasting, and if you plan to kitesurf or windsurf, check conditions before setting out — this is championship water for a reason.
  • The beach is cold, powerful and prone to rips. Swim only if you are confident, and keep an eye on anyone in your group who is not, especially on days with big Atlantic swell.
  • Walk down on the wooden boardwalks from the car parks rather than cutting across the dunes; the marram grass is fenced off and the paths keep feet off the moving sand.
  • Two or three restaurants sit right on the beach and the Michelin-starred Fortaleza do Guincho occupies the fort on the headland, so decide where you want to eat before you arrive and head down early.
  • Treat the visit as a half-day trip built around Cascais rather than a stand-alone beach day: come over the last rise on the Estrada do Guincho, take in the bay, then combine it with the town.
