Overview

Cresmina is the beach immediately south of Guincho, sharing similar conditions but slightly more sheltered. Part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park. Strong NW Nortada funnelled by the Sintra mountains — powerful wind, waves, and currents. Advanced to expert — similar hazards as Guincho with rocks and strong shore break. Stunning wild landscape.
