Praia do Infante, Sand beach in Costa da Caparica, Portugal.
Praia do Infante is a sand beach on the Lisbon coast with golden dunes and natural dune systems in the Medos Sul area. The shoreline stretches along the Atlantic with wide sandy expanses and gentle slopes in the southern section.
The beach emerged as an important maritime point during the 20th century, supporting fishing communities and local transportation networks. Its location became central to the development of the coastal economy.
Local fishermen maintain their traditions by bringing fresh catches directly to beachfront restaurants, where you can taste Portuguese seafood specialties prepared simply.
The Transpraia train service connects this beach to nearby bays during summer months, with station 16 providing direct access to the sand. The shoreline is easily accessible with clear pathways from the station to the water.
The beach sits in a protected bathing water zone and holds both Blue Flag and Gold Flag certifications for water quality standards. These recognitions indicate that the waters meet high cleanliness requirements and strict environmental guidelines.
