Kayaking Sesimbra
We kayaked the Arrabida coast in a delightful half-day excursion with friends.

Sesimbra, tucked into a peninsula about an hour’s drive south of Lisbon, is an adventuring center.
It nestles within the extensive Arrabida Natural Park, a wild area known for its many hiking trails. And it invites kayakers, boaters, rock-face traversers, divers, and snorkelers to visit a shore line rich in geological formations, including caverns hollowed out by the sea. Or you can just plunk yourself down on a sizzling beach, staying cool in the waters of the Atlantic.
In temperate, somewhat foggy conditions, however, we paddled a kayak for a delightful half-day exploration of the coast.
