About the Beach

What is Praia de São João da Caparica Beach?

Lifeguarded Beach from to
3114000
days for the start of bathing season

It's an Oceanic Beach in the northern hemisphere bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, located on the coast of Portugal - Iberian Peninsula - in the municipality of Almada.

Praia de São João da Caparica Beach has a very extensive sand of about 1,4 Km. The parish border between Trafaria and Costa da Caparica crosses the sand in the middle, that's why the beach is also known as Praia de São João da Caparica (North) Beach and Praia de São João da Caparica (South) Beach.
The beach is south bounded by a pier that extends about 225 meters into the sea.
The green of the Mata dos Franceses1 at east, brings a natural perfume to the beach when the wind is favorable.
Further south there's another pier of about 150 meters long, near Parque de Campismo INATEL2 and Clube de Campismo de Lisboa3.
Far away may be sighted the 4.
The sand is divided into several areas, from north to south, according to each beach bar:

São João da Caparica (North)

  1. Praia do Sol Nascente Beach
  2. Praia da Palmeira Beach
  3. Praia do Sol Beach
  4. Praia do Tubarão Beach

São João da Caparica (South)

  1. Praia do Tubarão (second beach bar) Beach
  2. Praia do Búzio Beach
  3. Praia da Malhação Beach
  4. Praia do C.C.L. (Clube de Campismo de Lisboa) Beach
  5. Praia da G.N.R. (Guarda Nacional Republicana) Beach

The names of these areas are subject of change according to the administration of each beach bar.
