Anchorages

• There is a good anchorage to the east of the marina in the the south-east facing bay but, it is subject to down drafts in the afternoon northerlies. It is not recommended in winter when there can be southerly winds which are rare in summer.

Tourism & things to do ashore

The railway station in the town has trains making the 30 minute journey to Lisbon.

Unfortunately the original fishing village of Cascais was nearly all pulled down to make room for an hotel but even so, it is an attractive bustling town based on its bars, restaurants and night life.

There is a small fishing museum on the north side of the park opposite the Pavilao de Cascais.
