Overview

Sesimbra is a charming fishing town south of Lisbon, sheltered by the Serra da Arrábida. The bay faces south — protected from the NW Nortada, which makes it generally calm but less windy. Works with S-SW winds. Not a primary kite spot but possible on south wind days. Crystal clear water, great seafood, and diving are the main attractions.
