Sesimbra
439 Reviews
Along the winding Portuguese coast lies Sesimbra, a small fishing village with a 17th-century fort overlooking the sea. Its 12th-century Moorish stone castle is perched up on jagged cliffs that drop down into calm Setúbal Bay. There is a small historic monastery within the castle walls, and the best mountain and sea views can be seen from a climb to the top.
Sesimbra is famous for its deep sea fishing and fresh seafood. There are several waterfront restaurants serving fresh fish, and fisherman will often auction off their catches from the harbor. The clear, protected waters of the bay create ideal swimming and scuba diving conditions. In addition to active water sports, there are excellent hiking trails, beaches, and natural parks in and just outside of town. With local beaches and an old town to stroll through, it’s easy to enjoy a quieter pace.

Tour Three Castles of Arrábida
Very close to Lisbon, the Setúbal Peninsula offers places of incomparable beauty. from the castle of Sesimbra, before going down to the beach, we enjoyed the view over the bay from this south-facing viewpoint, with the colorful boats of fishermen on the horizon. In Palmela, a new viewpoint in the castle awaits us, currently transformed into a Pousada. Finally, from the castle of Setúbal, today Pousada de São Filipe, we have an excellent view over the Natural Reserve area of the Sado Estuary.
