Azarujinha Beach is located in São João do Estoril, in an area where the urban fabric harmoniously merges with the coastline of the municipality of Cascais. This beach, sheltered by rock formations and buildings that rise on the hillside, is part of a particularly captivating stretch of coastline. Its position grants it a secluded atmosphere, characteristic of the small coves in the region, offering views over the Atlantic.
Characterized by a modest stretch of sand, Azarujinha Beach stands out for the presence of rocks extending across the sand and into the sea. This rocky landscape creates natural pools during low tide, inviting exploration and moments of leisure in calmer waters. The landscape is dominated by the contrast between the golden sand, the blue ocean, and the green of the vegetation on the surrounding cliffs, lending the place a particular beauty and a serene atmosphere.
A pedestrian walkway accompanies the coastline by Azarujinha Beach, offering a direct connection to the maritime environment and enabling a relaxing seaside experience.

Its contained sandy area and the natural and urban surroundings create a tranquil atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat by the sea. It is a place where human presence harmonizes with the natural landscape, providing a calmer beach experience closer to the maritime element.
