Directions

From central Cascais, follow the seafront toward Boca do Inferno on Avenida Rei Humberto II de Itália.

Boca do Inferno, meaning “Mouth of Hell,” takes its name from the sound and force of Atlantic waves surging through the rocks. Over time, wave erosion shaped the cliffs into an open cave and natural archway, creating the striking coastal scene visible today. The sea is still at work here: conditions can change the view from a relatively calm inlet to a thundering rush of water and spray. This natural formation has become one of Cascais’s best-known landmarks, drawing visitors to a coastline that feels markedly wilder than the town’s sheltered beaches. Its enduring appeal lies in that contrast, and in the chance to watch the Atlantic’s power from the clifftop viewpoints.

Before you enter

  • Check the weather and sea conditions; wind and large waves can bring spray onto the viewpoints.
  • Wear shoes with good grip for the paths and rocky surroundings.
  • Bring water and sun protection if visiting on a warm, clear day.

What to expect

  • Expect views of a natural arch, an open cave, rugged cliffs, and the Atlantic.
  • The scene changes with the swell: calm water offers clearer views, while rougher seas create dramatic spray.
  • Boca do Inferno is an outdoor viewpoint, so there is little shelter from wind or sun.

During your visit

  • Stay behind barriers and keep well back from cliff edges.
  • Secure your phone or camera before photographing the waves.
  • Pause at different viewing angles to see how the cave and arch connect.
