Azenhas do Mar
Portugal, Portugal
Azenhas do Mar perches dramatically on cliffs along Portugal's Sintra coast northwest of Lisbon, where whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs cascade down toward the Atlantic like a postcard Mediterranean village.
Its tiny beach nearly vanishes at high tide, but the main draw remains the mid-20th-century seawater pool replenished by crashing waves, offering safe swimming in crystalline waters amid stunning ocean vistas.
Named for ancient watermills powered by a stream flowing to the sea, this historic fishing hamlet features the 16th-century Chapel of Saint Lawrence and proximity to beaches like Praia da Aguda, blending serene relaxation with Sintra's fairy-tale landscapes.
