Praia das Bicas is located in the Sesimbra area, south of the well-known Praia do Moinho de Baixo. It is situated in a more isolated and natural area, away from the urban center. Access to the sandy beach is via a staircase, a distinctive feature upon arrival at this spot.
Facing west, the beach benefits from intense sun exposure during the afternoon, but is more subject to the influence of winds blowing from the north and west. The surroundings are marked by cliffs that flank the sandy area, giving it a more secluded and natural environment.
The waves at Praia das Bicas tend to be one of its main attractions. The characteristics of the sea at this point on the coast make it particularly suitable for surfing and bodyboarding. It is a sought-after spot for those who enjoy wave sports, finding favorable conditions here.
This beach maintains a more wild and genuine environment, away from the hustle and bustle of more urbanized beaches. The descent via the staircase contributes to this sense of discovery and to its separation from the upper area.
Although it is a natural spot, it has surveillance during the bathing season, ensured by lifeguards, which adds a measure of safety for visitors. The quality of the water and sand is usually good, with the beach having been awarded the Blue Flag in some years, indicating compliance with certain environmental and safety criteria.
