Praia da Grota is located in the town of Figueira do Guincho, in the municipality of Cascais. This cove is naturally sheltered by cliffs that isolate it from the surrounding area, providing a distinctive environment. Nestled within the vast Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, the beach benefits from a coastal setting where wild nature meets the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean.
The sandy area of Praia da Grota is of modest size, distinguished by the presence of pebbles and rolled stones that dot its entire length. When considering a swim in its waters, it is prudent to be aware of the abundance of submerged rocks that characterize the seafloor of the location.
During periods of higher rainfall, a scenic element adds a particular charm to the landscape of Praia da Grota: the formation of a waterfall. This emerges from the flow of the Ribeira da Grota, cascading over the cliff rocks and creating a natural spectacle that harmoniously integrates into the cove's environment.
Praia da Grota is known for its reserved environment and the tranquility it offers. It is a place that attracts those seeking a closer connection with nature, being appreciated by some as a space for the practice of naturism. For greater comfort during your visit and to fully enjoy the beach area and swimming, the use of appropriate water footwear, such as trainers or sandals, is advised due to the stony nature of the beach and its entry into the sea.
