Event details

Event Description

At this event we will walk in an area where we have beautiful beaches, from Ribeira D'Ilhas, famous for its waves that delight surfers, such as Ribeira D'Ilhas, north of Ericeira, to Praia da Assenta, but we'll also be travelling along rural paths, discovering lesser-known landscapes, but also full of reasons for interest, on a 26-kilometre route. Another event not to be missed!

Fort of St Susanna:

The Santa Susana fort, to the south of São Lourenço beach, was built in the 17th century by order of King João IV to defend against pirates attacking the coast. Together with the Picoto Fort, it formed part of the Lines of Torres Vedras (a set of fortifications designed to defend Lisbon during the French invasions); it also served as a barracks until 1948, when it was transferred to the Fiscal Guard. Around it you can see parapets and the gunboats opened in the 19th century.

São Lourenço Beach:

Praia de São Lourenço is a very spacious beach and one of the most popular in the region. It is located in the parish of Santo Isidoro, more precisely between the towns of Ribamar and São Lourenço. It combines the beauty of its landscape - marked by the mouth of the Safarujo and the long stretch of sand - with the quality of the facilities available to bathers: as well as a large car park, it has a beach support (with changing rooms, toilets, a first-aid post and a pleasant bar with a terrace), a sports area on the sand, showers, access walkways, thatches and sun loungers for hire. Its waves, which are part of the Ericeira World Surfing Reserve, are very popular with surfers and stand up paddle boarders.

Calada Beach:

This small, sheltered bay, which is also part of the parish of Encarnação, stands out for its natural beauty, surrounded by high, steep cliffs. Despite its rugged terrain, it has good road access and a generous car park. It has a modern beach support (which, as well as changing rooms, toilets and a first aid post, includes an attractive bar with a terrace), showers, access walkways, a sports area on the sand, and sunbeds and sun loungers for hire. Its waves are popular with surfers and bodyboarders.

Manueline Palace:

We'll be able to see the ruins of the Paço de Ilhas Palace, once owned by the Counts of Ericeira and which in 1968 still had a Manueline portal and window.
