Arrábida

Located by the sea, between Setúbal and the fishing village of Sesimbra, the Arrábida Natural Park has an incomparable beauty, where the blue of the sea alternates with the whitish tones of the limestone cliffs and the green of the dense vegetation that covers the Serra.

In the Serra da Arrábida you can enjoy the best of both worlds: the countryside and the sea.

In this region you'll find several camping options. Our team suggests Campimeco and Valbom, in Sesimbra.
Campimeco is the perfect place to relax and enjoy one of the best sunsets in our country. At Valbom you'll find the peace and serenity of the mountains.
In both parks you'll find a variety of accommodation, from traditional camping to bungalows.

They are all internationally famous fishing villages, one for its shell-shaped bay and the other for its waves, where you can even find giant waves!
However, this region is a constant box of surprises that offers you a bit of everything: fascinating museums and monuments, delicious sea-flavored cuisine, places full of history and some of the best surfing destinations in the world.
