Samarra Beach is located in the village of Cortesia, within the municipality of Sintra, in the district of Lisbon. It is situated on a stretch of the Atlantic coast where nature remains dominant. Access to the beach is via a narrow valley, revealing its more secluded nature.
Its location provides a serene atmosphere, away from the more urbanized areas, offering direct contact with the natural coastal landscape of the Sintra region.
This beach is characterized by a modest-sized stretch of sand, framed by imposing limestone cliffs that rise vertically around the cove. Marine and wind erosion have sculpted these rock formations, creating a natural setting of particular beauty.
The coastal vegetation, adapted to the shoreline conditions, dots the slopes, contributing to the diversity of the local ecosystem. The Atlantic waters, sometimes rough, reflect the wild and powerful nature of the Portuguese west coast.
The geological formation of Samarra Beach is one of its distinctive features. The cliffs that embrace the sandy area are a testament to millennia-old processes of formation and transformation, with visible rock layers that tell the geological history of the region.
This coastal environment, naturally exposed to the elements, offers direct contact with the power and beauty of the ocean and the coastal landscape. The atmosphere is one of tranquility and isolation, ideal for those seeking a natural refuge and the contemplation of wild nature.
