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 Club Naval de Sesimbra in conjunction with the municipality.  The marina is about two kilometers from the town.

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.
