Praia do Pescoço do Cavalo is located in São João do Estoril, in the municipality of Cascais. This small stretch of sand is situated between rock formations that give it a protected and tranquil environment. The sea that bathes it is typical of the Portuguese coast, with gentle waves that sometimes break on small reefs and exposed rock areas. The beach is integrated into a coastal zone where the presence of rocks creates very characteristic natural landscapes, which change according to the tide.
The space is delimited by rocks that extend into the sea, forming a setting that attracts visitors seeking calm moments by the water, away from the crowds. The visual contact with the Atlantic Ocean and the coastline shaped by sea erosion add interest to this area.
This is a rustic-looking place, with a modest stretch of sand surrounded by rocks that create small natural pools during low tide. The contrast between the golden sand and the rocks covered in algae creates a visual texture that enhances the coastal landscape. The water is clear, and the presence of rocky areas makes the sea interesting for those who enjoy observing marine life or engaging in ocean-related activities.
During the summer, the beach maintains a calm and uncrowded atmosphere, ideal for those who appreciate tranquility. Its reduced size and natural characteristics promote direct contact with nature, far from the usual bustle of larger beaches.
The beach is known for being pet-friendly, welcoming visitors who enjoy bringing their dogs to enjoy the space freely. This characteristic makes it a privileged location for those seeking a relaxed and laid-back environment, suitable for walks and leisure moments with companion animals.
Praia do Pescoço do Cavalo is, therefore, a less busy alternative, where the silence of the sea and the presence of rocks create a pleasant and secluded atmosphere. Interaction with the ocean is facilitated by the natural formations that, in addition to their landscape value, offer spaces to explore and rest.
