What makes this beach special
The beach sits close to central Estoril and the well-known Casino Estoril. Its urban setting, architecture and promenade set it apart from the broad, surf-focused beaches further along the coast.
How to get there from Lisbon
Take a Cascais-line train and get off at Estoril. The beach is near the station; verify the best pedestrian access if travelling with a pushchair or reduced mobility.
Make the most of your visit
Continue along the coast towards Cascais, stopping for photographs along the way. With limited time, Estoril, Tamariz and a relaxed café stop already make a satisfying outing.
Safety and what to check
Expect crowds in summer and less sand at some tides. Check APA bathing-water information, sea conditions and lifeguard arrangements rather than assuming swimming is always advisable.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reach Tamariz Beach from Lisbon?

What should I check before visiting Tamariz Beach?
