Praia de São João, Beach in Costa da Caparica, Portugal
The beach extends for 1.4 kilometers along the Atlantic coast, featuring brown sand and two sections divided by concrete piers reaching into the ocean.
The development of this beach area began in the early 20th century when Costa da Caparica transformed from a fishing settlement into a recreational destination.
Local food establishments near the beach serve traditional Portuguese seafood dishes, offering fresh catch from the Atlantic Ocean to numerous visitors.
The beach provides monitored swimming areas with lifeguard services from June through September, along with paid parking facilities and rental equipment.
The eastern side of the beach borders the Maitas dos Franceses forest, creating a natural barrier that affects wind patterns and beach conditions.
