    The Cresmina dunes are part of the Guincho-Cresmina dune system, located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park in Portugal. This dune system extends over 66 hectares and is considered unique due to the prevailing northwest winds, which cause the sand from the beaches of Guincho and Cresmina to return to the sea approximately 5 km to the south, near Guia, after migrating over a flat, rocky and largely uninhabited area of Cabo Raso.

      The Cresmina Dune covers 66 hectares and is part of the Guincho-Oitavos dune system, located on the edge of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.

      In order to sustainably protect this unique dune, which merges back into the sea as a shifting dune near Guia, a wooden path has been laid through the dune.

        During the season there are occasional guided hikes for 4 euros.
