Beaches and the Westernmost point of Europe... an adventure waiting for you! 

 This amazing daily tour takes you to the westernmost point of Europe.
Located at 38° 47´ North and 9° 30´ West, Cabo da Roca offers a breath-taking view over the Atlantic Ocean and over the Sintra Forest, and is also an important coordinate for those who navigate along the coast.

This small adventure starts on the Cascais coast, at the Guincho beach; continues amidst a fantastic landscape between Serra de Sintra and the Atlantic Ocean; and it ends in Cabo da Roca. Here all you have to do is enjoy the unique view and taste delicious food in a typical restaurant. 

Historical records indicate that there was a Fort on Cabo da Roca, in the 17th century, that played an important part in guarding the entrance in Lisbon's harbour, forming a defensive line along the coast. Today we can find its traces, and the big Lighthouse that still playes an important role for navigation.
