It's not only the close proximity of the beach that makes the stay in that location so great, it is also very accessible to Cape Roca and Sintra, for those that are interested in more off-beat adventures and sightings (renting a car is recommended if you are not a hiker). For the entertainment seeking night owls you are only a stone's throw away from one of European's legendary casinos. It has also a very good terrace looking over the park and a part of the sea. Good place to take a few swigs of some cold beer, chilling and living the sunset during an early evening. Bottom line, the apartment is fantastic value for money, you won't find much better than that. The only downside of our trip was that Sporting didn't beat Manchester City in the knockout phase of the Champions League at their nearly full packed stadium :(.
