Latest revision as of 15:00, 21 August 2018

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.
