Praia da Ribeira

The Praia da Ribeira extends for 120 meters along the coastline, bordered by a protective wall and an old fishing pier facing the Atlantic Ocean.

The beach served as a crucial landing point where local fishermen would pull their boats onto the sand for repairs and shelter during storms.

A bronze statue near the beach commemorates 500 years of Portuguese maritime discoveries, representing a woman gazing toward the horizon across the Atlantic.

The beach provides direct access to numerous restaurants in central Cascais and features a public volleyball court, though it lacks lifeguard services and equipment rentals.

The beach entrance displays a traditional Portuguese wave-pattern mosaic walkway, similar to the design found in Lisbon's Rossio Square from the 1800s.
