Baía de Cascais Audio Guide Tour

Baía de Cascais has long been central to Cascais’s life as a fishing town. Its sheltered waters supported local boats, while the small beach and waterfront remain places where residents and visitors gather. In the late 19th century, Cascais became a fashionable seaside retreat after Portugal’s royal family began spending summers here. That change helped shape the town’s elegant coastal character, but the bay’s working maritime heritage is still part of its identity. Today, fishing boats, the promenade, and views toward the nearby citadel bring those different chapters together. The bay is also a natural starting point for exploring Cascais’s historic streets, cafés, and shoreline on foot.
