Nice little fishing village with a small beach, as a special feature even with a natural pool. From here you can always hike along the coast and sometimes you can also discuss with fishermen whether fish will bite.

Azenhas do Mar is a picturesque village in Sintra known for its ocean pool and ancient water mills. It has buildings with traditional tiles and stands out for the production of Colares Wine, made in vineyards planted in sandy soils. The village celebrates São Lourenço in August and had significant development as a seaside resort from the 1930s onwards, after the inauguration of the tram line.

Hiking

Azenhas do Mar - watermills of the sea - they used to be here. Today it is a popular holiday resort for the capital's residents. The famous ocean pool is not always visible - it depends on the tide. At high tide the entire beach can disappear.
