About this place Praia 19

Praia 19 is the stretch of Atlantic beach on the Costa da Caparica, south of Lisbon, that has long been used by gay men and naturists. The name comes from stop 19 of the summer beach train (Transpraia) that runs along the dunes from Costa da Caparica town. There's little infrastructure, so bring water, food and shade. The dunes behind the beach see cruising; be discreet, take your rubbish with you, and keep an eye on your belongings. Outside summer the train doesn't run and access is by car or a long walk. Facilities and train timetables change by season, so check before going.

A large and beautiful beach, in a wild state. The best option for nude sunbathing, just 30 minutes from Lisbon. It's a bit annoying to frequently see people in swimsuits, but the beach is large enough to avoid them, and there's even the possibility of isolating yourself a bit in the dunes for some privacy. 😇😈

A very good beach for those seeking a more peaceful and free atmosphere, away from screaming children, with plenty of space to put up a parasol, and the water is quite cold.
