Praia do Mirante is situated in the coastal area of A dos Cunhados, in the municipality of Torres Vedras. Access is via an old pedestrian path that leads up to a high platform, offering views of the extensive sandy beach.
Enclosed by gentle cliffs and typical dune vegetation, the beach stretches out before the Atlantic Ocean, providing a natural continuation to the coastline of the western region of Portugal.
The sea usually presents moderate waves, creating a dynamic effect as it meets the golden sand. The cliffs, sculpted by Atlantic winds, are dotted with plants such as marram grass and salt-resistant shrubs.
Throughout the year, one can feel the iodine-rich sea breeze, while the tides draw ephemeral patterns on the wide sandy shore. This setting lends a wild and tranquil character to the location.
The main highlight is the natural viewpoint at the top of the cliffs, from where panoramic views of the ocean and the extensive beach can be enjoyed. This spot reveals the grandeur of the sea stretching to the horizon and the contrast between the cliffs and the sandy plain.
For those who appreciate capturing landscapes, the viewpoint's framing allows for recording different moments of the day, particularly the changing light at sunset, when the ocean takes on softer hues.
