Costa da Caparica

A Surfer&#;s Paradise

Located in the municipality of Almada, about 10 kilometres from Lisbon, Costa da Caparica is home to the largest contiguous beach in Portugal, spanning approximately 30 kilometres.

While the town centre is overdeveloped and best avoided, the long sandy beaches just south of town are popular in the summer with surfers, tourists and local visitors. There are several surf schools, as well as restaurants, cafés and bars that are open all year round.

As you go further south, the beach area becomes quieter, less crowded and less clothed.

Gay & Naked

There is a well-known gay beach called “Beach 19”, located at the south end of Costa da Caparica. This lovely sandy beach attracts a large gay crowd who leave little to the imagination. The dunes behind the beach are a also popular cruising see in the late afternoon.

This is a deserted beach -- for facilities you have to hike to the neighboring beach of Fonte da Telha

The name derives from the number signposted by the prepare tracks behind it, indicating the block of the tourist train that connects the

Gay Urban Resort Concept

A story that can be summed up in a Principle, born of personal experiences over the years around the world, and a desire to create a space where all members of a community – the Gay Male society – would feel 'at home, even far from home'. A concept of Gay Urban Resort that wanted to be a space of conviviality, crossing cultures and identities, affluent in diversity and modern encounters, a kind of nest, a “pied-à-terre” in the heart of a city, Lisbon, rich in its past, dazzling with light and bubbling with life, in broad daylight and in the middle of the night A dream that became a draft and then a reality.
