It is beautiful of course. Lovely beaches and trees. Nice roads. However, we didn't manage to do any particular walking because of the off-putting info on the internet. Lots of people complain that paths are either overgrown with brambles and you risk catching ticks OR run mostly along the roads which is no fun. There is a surprising lack of designated paths if you check the official list of path on the website of the municipality of Setúbal. I know places in Portugal which are much smaller in terms of the overall area with more paths. The municipality of Setúbal needs to up their game and make it a more attractive and safe place to walk. Create more circular paths which could also run across the lovely vineyards so people can appreciate the beauty of this countryside.

Wonderful beach with clear water and stunning views. No amenities so take all you need with you. It's an unsupervised beach with no lifeguards and the access to the beach is through a dirt track, very steep and definitely only for people with full mobility and good general health. You need to jump, climb, pull yourself holding onto branches and rocks. I normally walk about 12 miles a day and am in good health and found it difficult to get down to it. Coming back up was surprisingly a bit easier. Also no signage and one can easily get lost wondering around the dense scrub vegetation. To me it was well worth it though, its very beautiful. You can get there by taxi boat from Sesimbra's harbor too.

My favourite place in Portugal. Beautiful landscapes and peaceful surroundings. Amazing beaches as well, some of the best in the world on my opinion. But beware that the water is a bit on the cold side. I ride my motorbike to chill and this area is a must to relax and enjoy the scenery. You can even see the Tróia peninsula in the other side of Sado. Just outside of this place you have Setúbal which is a lovely city with amazing fish restaurants. And don't forget to try the traditional fried cuttlefish (I recommend Santiago restaurant) and the famous pastel de nata or Azeitão rolls (tartes de Azeitão).

Context: visited as a tourist in Jun 2023. Can't speak for other times of the year All round amazing place. Beautiful blue sea lovely sandy beach, and restaurants all around and all just an hour south of Lisbon! Was booked as part of an excursion from TripAdvisor (again highly recommend) nd we arrived before midday. There were still a number of people so would recommend getting early. There were a number of people doing activities including kayaking, swimming, fishing, snorkeling and more. Highly recommend to any other tourists visiting Lisbon.

Beautiful area of natural beauty, right outside Lisbon and Setúbal. Had a hire car which is essential to really get around. Basically there’s a high road and a low road, the high one has sweeping views at every turn and offers nice lay-bys in which you can stop and take pictures. The low road takes you along the small cliff past the variety of beaches that line the shore. A nice excursion from the city if you have the transport.
