São Julião Beach is located on the west coast of the municipality of Mafra, in the district of Lisbon. Situated specifically in the locality of Valbom, this beach stretches over a considerable sandy area, offering an unobstructed view of the Atlantic Ocean. Its setting harmoniously integrates the coastal environment with the rural surroundings, which still retain much of their authenticity and tranquility.
Characterised by its extensive sandy area, São Julião Beach invites long walks along the seashore, allowing for different perspectives on the landscape and the horizon. Its waters, influenced by the Atlantic currents, reflect the inherent energy of this coastal strip, making it a highly attractive spot for those seeking a deep connection with the sea.
The vastness of the space allows for a fuller beach experience, where the rhythm of the tides and the breadth of the sandy area are fully manifested, providing an environment conducive to observing the ocean's dynamics.
The natural scenery of São Julião Beach is significantly shaped by the imposing cliffs that flank it. These rock formations, sculpted over time by the relentless action of the sea and wind, are a testament to the local geology, presenting a rich palette of colours and textures that vary with the incidence of sunlight.
The coastal vegetation, specially adapted to this unique environment, complements the landscape, reinforcing the genuine and preserved character of the beach, where nature reveals itself with remarkable force.
