Excellent public access has long made Moitas Beach a preferred destination for beachcombers and sunbathers, but this triangular wedge of sand is a premium location and can get packed out pretty quickly. A breakwater helps to appease the heavy swells that occasionally roll in from the Atlantic, and a rocky shoreline means care should be taken if duck diving from the water's surface. The beach is served by a couple of good café-restaurants â" great people-watching territory! A medical first aid point stands nearby. Despite its dinky dimensions, the beach has been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness and water quality.

- Beaches: "A "Life Trail" runs along the promenade, a series of light gym equipment for use by those who want to keep fit."
- Best for Beaches Because: Easily reached from Monte Estoril railway station, and equidistant from the resorts of Cascais and Estoril, Praia das Moitas is a summertime favourite.
