Comporta Beach

One of Portugal's most exclusive and picturesque beaches

Tucked away in Portugal’s Alentejo region, just a 1.5-hour drive south of Lisbon, Comporta is celebrated for its pristine natural beauty — endless dunes of soft white sand bordered by fragrant pine forests and the green expanse of rice fields that lend an untouched, serene backdrop.
