Just over 45 minutes from Lisbon, hidden between the lush green of the mountains and the endless blue of the ocean, lies one of Europe’s most stunning coastlines.
Located in the heart of the Arrábida Natural Park, Praia do Creiro is living proof that our country holds natural treasures that rival those of any international luxury destination.
If you don’t believe it, the following words will change your mind!
An exotic setting right on our doorstep
Inspired by the most incredible destinations that steal the hearts of millions of tourists, we have continued, since last year, our search for the country’s most fantastic and “secret” beaches.
Many of them are located in the wonderful Arrábida Mountains, such as the beaches of Galapinhos, Coelhos, or Anicha. But Praia do Creiro is the one that most recently took our breath away. With sand as white as its crystal-clear, cool, yet calm waters, Praia do Creiro is a true paradise just a few kilometers from Lisbon.
Sheltered by imposing limestone cliffs covered in lush greenery, the scenery you’ll find here is so idyllic that, the moment you step onto the sand, it’s impossible not to feel as though you’ve been teleported to a tropical destination.
If you’re looking for a retreat that lets you disconnect from the capital’s stress, “dive” into the abundant marine life, or simply bathe in a refreshing natural saltwater pool, Praia do Creiro is an affordable luxury for a weekend getaway, and you don’t even need to plan your trip too far in advance, although there are a few “rules” to follow to enjoy this paradise.
Discover the most coveted secret of the south coast
The south bank is full of interesting places to visit, particularly the beaches of Costa da Caparica and, of course, the entire Setúbal area, which includes the famous Arrábida.
Just as is the case with major international destinations, such as Porto Santo Beach in Madeira or Mallorca in Spain, the beauty of the mountains is so coveted that many people are planning day trips to this spot, so planning a successful trip can mean an excellent experience.
Thus, during the warmer months, expect traffic restrictions in this area, a measure implemented to preserve this ecological natural sanctuary.
The best strategy is to arrive early, park in the designated lots , and take one of the shuttle buses; or opt for beaches accessible via hiking trails if you want to be a little more adventurous.
As soon as you get there, as always, leave everything as you found it, clean and tidy; wait for the sun to set and realize that, without a doubt, the Caribbean can wait a few more years because paradise isn’t that far from home.
