Fonte da Telha Beach
A sun-kissed bay to bathe in natural beauty
Fonte da Telha Beach is a sprawling seaside escape, stretching a mile and a half along the Setúbal Peninsula, where the municipalities of Almada and Sesimbra converge.
This sun-kissed bay is embraced by the lush Medos National Forest and offers panoramic views stretching from the dramatic cliffs of Cape Espichel and south to the serene Cape Raso on the northern shores of Lisbon.
We recommend
The best vibe: Don’t miss a visit to Kailua, the beachfront bar and restaurant that embodies the laid-back luxury of the beach. Here, the flavours are as vibrant as the sunsets.
Notes
It’s wise to avoid the weekend rush. The secret to savouring Fonte da Telha’s tranquility lies in seizing the off-peak hours.
At the heart of the beach is Kailua, a beachside retreat where the food is as refreshing as the ocean breeze. With your feet and toes caressed by the sand, take advantage of a menu that sings with the flavours of the sea. Kailua is a place where every meal feels like a mini vacation, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
At Kailua, it’s all about the art of unwinding—whether you’re toasting with a mango and passion fruit sangria, savouring a delicate cod carpaccio, or indulging in a sumptuous kauwela with shrimp. All in a relaxed atmosphere where locals and guests mingle in a curated experience honouring nature and the spirit of the place.
At the beach, the vibe is all about savouring the moment. Fonte da Telha Beach is where Lisboetas come to disconnect and bathe in the natural beauty, where locals and travellers come together, lounging on the golden sands, or simply soaking up the vistas. So, slip into something comfortable, leave the city’s hustle behind, and let Fonte da Telha’s charm wash over you.
