Sintra beaches

Yeah, the Atlantic beaches can be a bit chilly. The water is quite cold, and with wind blowing, things cool down considerably. But its July - I really wouldn't worry about it at all if I were you, just bring a light jacket and a torch if you're staying for sunset.

If there is a heatwave on, and that happens a lot in July, those beaches are the place to be and will often be packed!

Ha. I thought July should be ok.. So a jacket should be enough after the sun goes down? Great :)

Thanks a lot!

Chill was not much of a problem but every time I went there I found the waves too big for swimming.

Meczko - yeah I heard the sea is rough there, strong currents too, and that people should take care when going in. I think I'll only go in for a few dips if the waves are too big, just enough for cooling down from the sun. Not proper swimming.

Thanks!
