Is Sintra’s Praia Grande worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, this beach is well worth a visit. We loved the large expanse of white sand, the sea as far as the eye could see and the convenience of the amenities. Here you’ll find ideal conditions for lounging or surfing, as well as a host of facilities, restaurants, caf\u00e9s and stores. At the foot of the Hotel Arribas Sintra<\/a>, a gigantic saltwater pool – the largest in Europe – welcomes those who prefer very calm waters. Last but not least, paleontology buffs will love it here: dinosaur footprints lurk among the rocks to the south of the beach.<\/p>\n\n

This is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Sintra region!<\/p>\n\n
