Praia do Guincho, Cascais e Estoril, Cascais, Lisboa, Portugal
Praia do Guincho is a beautiful Atlantic beach situated on Portugal's Estoril coast, just 5 km from Cascais. Renowned for its excellent conditions for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing, the beach draws water sports lovers throughout the year. Its 800-metre shoreline is nestled within the scenic Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, which helps preserve its natural charm. Guincho is historically significant as the location for the James Bond film "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" released in 1969. Access to the beach is straightforward, with both paid and free parking options available. While there are no entrance fees, swimming is discouraged due to strong currents, making it a perfect spot for surfers. The beach is open all year, though it is busier during the summer months.
