Cascais e Estoril

The Atlantic Ocean defines the setting of Cascais and Estoril — beaches, a sheltered bay and wave-cut cliffs give this coast west of Lisbon its maritime rhythm. Cascais grew from a fishing settlement into a royal summer resort after King Luís I began spending summers here in the late 19th century, a change still reflected in its seafront villas and citadel. West of town, Boca do Inferno is a sea-carved chasm where Atlantic swells strike the rock. Estoril adds a long coastal promenade and Casino Estoril, an enduring landmark of Portugal’s resort culture.
