From historic port cities to breathtaking islands: A sailing trip along Portugal's west coast

The sailing area along Portugal's west coast is an Eldorado for experienced sailors. The powerful Atlantic coupled with a steady tidal range requires careful cruise planning. If you start from Cascais, a coastal town where wealthy Lisboners once built their weekend residences, you can stroll through the narrow streets and pass magnificent buildings. Culinary offerings are particularly plentiful here, with fish and seafood dominating the many restaurants.

Sailing along this coast will be an experience full of highlights. Pass the breathtaking Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, where the cliffs drop as much as 100 meters into the sea and many beaches around the cape invite you to a refreshing swim stop. The untouched beauty of the Parque Natural de Sintra-Cascais stretches along the coast and again and again small bays open up with picturesque, often lonely beaches.

The wild beauty of the Portuguese Atlantic stretches out before you. Peniche, a small peninsula, offers with the beach Praia dos Supertubos an internationally known surf spot. In front of the city rise the islands of the small Berlenga archipelago. If you want to explore these islands and their attractions, such as Forte São João de Batista on the main island of Berlenga, you should check with Peniche beforehand, as visitor numbers to the islands are limited. There are popular diving spots around the islands, and between August and October you might even encounter the fascinating moonfish.

The journey then takes you along the straight coastline, past the lagoon of Óbidos and Aveiro, often referred to as the Venice of Portugal, until you arrive in Porto, another highlight of Portugal. Porto's medieval old town with its winding streets invites you to take a leisurely stroll, especially during the cooler midday hours. Enjoy the sight of the Douro River and end the day with a glass of port wine in the afternoon sun. The regional cuisine tempts with delicacies like bacalhau (stockfish) or franceshina, a Porto toast specialty.

If you're already familiar with Portugal's rugged open seas and stunning coastal scenery and are looking for new adventures, Madeira and the Azores may be just what you're looking for. These natural islands in the Atlantic Ocean are also part of Portugal and offer a perfect combination of sporting challenge and relaxing vacation for families and experienced sailors alike.
