 Sesimbra harbour and marina |
Sesimbra is situated six miles ENE of Cape Espichel in Portugal, which is itself some 20 miles south of the entrance to the Rio Tejo leading to Lisbon. It is a picturesque and well protected fishing harbour lying at the foot of the Serra da Arrábida mountain range and overlooked by a restored 13th century castle. It was an important port during the Age of Discoveries and a number of the Portuguese kings lived or stayed here at various times. Today, Sesimbra is a popular weekend hideaway for Lisbon residents seeking a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the capital. A small marina has been established in the harbour by the Clube Naval de Sesimbra in conjunction with the municipality. The marina is about two kilometers from the town.
