Cascais Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Drop the hook in sandy holding ground just off the historic town of Cascais, where 8 meters of depth and a reliable grip make it a solid overnight stop even when the Atlantic kicks up 20–25 knots. This former fishing village turned royal retreat sits right at the mouth of the Tagus, so you're well-placed to explore its old quarter, seafront cafés, and easy rail connection into Lisbon. Just be aware the anchorage is busy with local traffic, so scope out your spot and set plenty of chain.
