Praia do Magoito, Atlantic coastal beach in Sintra, Portugal

The long stretch of golden sand at Praia do Magoito extends between dark cliffs and contains numerous rocks along its shoreline.

The northern section of the beach features a 10,000-year-old consolidated dune, formed through continuous accumulation of sand by wind and sea actions.

The beach maintains its natural character within the Sintra-Cascais National Park, offering a different experience from the commercial beaches of Portugal.

The beach provides essential facilities including parking spaces, sunshade rentals, showers, a restaurant, and a bar for visitor convenience.

The seawater at Praia do Magoito contains the highest concentration of iodine among European beaches, while maintaining a temperature between 17-18°C in summer.
