Situated just north of Portugal’s largest city, Lisbon, Cascais holds its own as a coastal oasis. Architecture, history, food, and beaches make up just a portion of what separates Cascais from the rest of the area.
It was a hot and sunny Iberian summer day when hundreds cooled off in this Atlantic pool. From paddleboarders to bridge jumpers to rock climbers, Santa Marta Beach offers something for everyone. We spent hours soaking in the sun before continuing on to other nearby beaches.
