Portinho da Arrabida - Setúbal - Portugal

Located between the beaches of Alpertuche (to the west) and Galápos (to the east) is a rocky beach, next to the locality, being more sandy as you walk towards it (towards Setúbal). It consists of a bay of calm and transparent waters, great for diving. To the east, the beach widens, always accompanied by the green slopes of the Serra da Arrábida. On the west side, the restaurants are located. The quiet of the place is interrupted, in the summer, by crowds of visitors and by the water bikes. At the nascent end, during low tide, it is possible to access, by swimming or by the cliff, the neighboring beach of the Rabbits. The seabed is a nature reserve, and underwater fishing is prohibited.

Recently, an access to the beach, with car parks, has been improved, which facilitates the visitors to reach the beach and allows a traffic clearing in Portinho.

Coming from Portinho, the tourists / vacationers choose the rockiest part or walk, on a dirt track, very rugged, to the largest and most sandy part.

In 2010, Portinho da Arrábida beach was considered one of the "Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal" in the Beaches and Cliffs category.
