São Julião Beach is a long sandy beach located on the west coast of Portugal, on the border of the municipalities of Sintra and Mafra. It is known for its impressive cliffs and for being an ideal spot for surfing.

Beach Characteristics
Natural Beauty: The beach stands out for its wild landscape and the cliffs that delimit it, providing a scenic view and a more tranquil and natural atmosphere.

Surfing Conditions: With good waves and constant swell from the Atlantic Ocean, São Julião Beach is a popular spot for surfers, both beginners and experienced.

Location: Being on the border between Sintra and Mafra, it can be accessed from both municipalities, making it an option for those in the Ericeira or Sintra region.

Infrastructure: Although more isolated, the beach has some support, such as parking, and nearby, it is possible to find restaurants and cafes.

Activities and trails
Hiking and nature: The area around the beach offers good opportunities for hiking and trails, such as the one that leads to the Ribeira da Mata Waterfall and Samarra Beach.
Birdwatching: The wild landscape and proximity to native forest areas attract various species of marine and terrestrial birds.
São Julião Beach is an excellent option for those seeking refuge from the urban hustle and bustle, with natural beauty and good conditions for water sports.
