Caxias Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Fort of São Bruno is situated on the estuary of the River Tagus in Caxias, Oeiras municipality, near Lisbon in Portugal. It was built in 1647 and became operational in 1649 as part of the construction of a line of forts to control access to Lisbon, which stretched from Cabo da Roca on the Atlantic coast to the Belém Tower near Lisbon. The fort is well preserved, following its original design, and is considered one of the most attractive examples of maritime military architecture on the Portuguse coast. It presently serves as the headquarters of the Associação Portuguesa dos Amigos dos Castelos (Portuguese association of friends of castles).
During the Portuguese Restoration War, King John IV of Portugal identified the need to strengthen Lisbon's defences in the face of attacks by the Spanish navy. In 1647 he ordered construction of a fort at Caxias to improve the defence of the right bank of the Tagus by making possible crossfire with the Fort of Nossa Senhora do Vale (Our Lady of the Valley) to the east, now demolished, and the Fort of Giribita to the west, thus reinforcing the major Fort of São Julião da Barra to the west. António Luís de Meneses, 1st Marquis of Marialva, was given responsibility for the work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_of_São_Bruno

Seaside Promenade 🚴🌊 Caxias-Cruz Quebrada

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Between Cruz Quebrada and Caxias a world-class quality, wide and very smooth, color divided biking and pedestrian multiuse trail has been built into the sea along the shore. Possibly the best biking section between Cascais and Lisboa. It follows the coastline high above potential storm flood level, with natural granite blocks sloping out and down to the sea.

Praia de Algés

Highlight • Beach

There are countless dream beaches around Lisbon on the Atlantic coast that invite you to relax on the beach. The old seafaring city has long since built bridges to the modern age. And because it banishes its world-weariness in music, in Fado, there is plenty of room for joie de vivre.

Belém Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Belém Tower is a 16th-century military construction designed by Francisco de Arruda and Diogo de Boitaca. It played a crucial role during the Age of Discovery as a fortress and port.
Throughout its history, it has served as a prison, lighthouse, and tax collection center.
Along with the Jerónimos Monastery, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.
I hope this information is useful to you! 😊

Waterfront Path from Lisbon to Cascais

Highlight • Cycleway

Be brave, the bike ride goes along the coast, twice you have to push through an underpass, ...you don't have to go to Cascais, there are great beaches and cafes before that
