Situated by the sea, the park offers some of the most stunning coastal scenery in the Lisbon area. Like a wall of green sticking out over the Atlantic, the hills offer shelter to small coves of white sand where, despite being on the edge of the ocean, the sea is almost free of waves. With luck, your trip will be enriched by the symbol of the estuary - the dolphins accompanying you with their magnificent leaps.
