Set on a curving turquoise bay just 40 km south of Lisbon, Sesimbra is both an attractive fishing town and popular tourist resort within easy reach of the capital.
Protected from north winds by the slopes of the surrounding Serra da Arrábida mountains, it was occupied by the Romans and later the Moors before the new king of Portugal rallied his forces and took over the town soon after the nation was first formed.
Residents of nearby Lisbon flock here on weekends to relax on its long sandy beach and dine in the excellent beach-front fish and seafood restaurants following an appetizing evening stroll along the town’s extensive promenade. A popular choice of dish is the locally-caught swordfish (espadarte) which is cooked to perfection on the many charcoal grills lined along the pavements.
