Fodor's Expert Review Portinho da Arrábida

This small fishing village is a popular destination for Lisboetas, who appreciate the beautiful beaches, whose wonderfully clear blue-green waters and white sands create a dramatic contrast with the green, pine-covered hills. A handful of good fish and seafood restaurants offer terraces with views out to sea. Due to the high number of visitors, cars are banned mid-June to mid-September, but free buses run here from Setúbal to Portinho da Arrábida and other picturesque beaches. Parking can be difficult even outside peak season.
