Absolutely incredible first experience of Lisbon!!! Tamariz beach was EXACLY what I needed for my seriously jet lagged family arriving from Canada at 6:30am Lisbon time. We hopped in our rental car & drove directly to Tamariz based on these excellent reviews I read. Highlight was the covered King size shaded beach cabana hut I rented for the family to crash & sleep for 4 hours!! while I spent the day in joy… keeping the family shaded, swimming in crystal clear refreshingly cool ocean salt water, drinking super cheap high quality espresso at the beach front cafe.
