Arrábida Natural Park stretches along the coast between Setúbal and Sesimbra, a rugged landscape of sheer limestone cliffs plunging into the Atlantic. The park is a haven for hikers, with trails winding through dense maquis of strawberry trees, rockroses, and pines. The coves like Portinho da Arrábida offer pebble beaches and clear water for swimming. The highest point, Serra do Risco, is Europe's highest coastal cliff at 380 meters. Wildlife includes peregrine falcons and Bonelli's eagles.
