Praia de São Sebastião

Praia de São Sebastião is a picturesque beach nestled in the quaint village of Ericeira. This beach is named after a petite white chapel that is perched on the nearby cliff, adjacent to the available parking lot. The beach is characterized by its large, grainy sands and flat rocks in shallow waters, which are easy to tread on. However, during high tide, the sandy area of the beach shrinks due to the emergence of these big rocks in the sand and water, leaving less space available for visitors. Despite its natural beauty, Praia de São Sebastião is not supervised by lifeguards, hence, visitors are advised to exercise caution while accessing the beach and to keep a safe distance from the base of the cliffs. Nevertheless, the beach is fairly sheltered from wind, making it an ideal spot for relaxing. In addition to the natural allure, Praia de São Sebastião offers several amenities for its visitors. These include a parking lot for those who drive to the beach, and a bar and restaurant for refreshments and meals. To reach Praia de São Sebastião, visitors can plan their route based on their starting point and preferred mode of transportation. Despite its proximity to the city center of Ericeira, the beach does not get overly crowded, allowing visitors to enjoy the serene atmosphere and stunning views that it offers.
