Easter weekend on the Lisbon coast, day 2, Praia do Guincho

After a beautiful breakfast at the Fortaleza do Guincho’s Michelin starred restaurant —–>

we took a walk to Guincho beach.

It is difficult to describe something so amazing. The warming sunshine, the softness of the sands and the voice of the Atlantic ocean give you the feeling of an enormous happiness growing and exploding in your tummy. 

It was the first time I dipped my feet in the Atlantic and even the cold water could not wake me up from this happy dream.

Praia do Guincho (Guincho beach) is located 5 km from the town of Cascais. 

The main attraction are the massive waves and constant breeze that are ideal for surfing. I wish I was a prefessional surfer.

(those are surfers in the water, not rocks)

Guincho beach also provided us with a special light perfect for selfies :D so spent about an hour trying Molly’s “beauty face” camera mode.

Whilst taking silly selfies a dog stole our shoes and dragged them into the ocean. Do you know how difficult it is to put on a soaked up trainer? Do you know how painful it is to walk wearing wet trainers? It is v-e-r-y painful.

*Travellers tip: do not leave your shoes unattended when travelling abroad!
