Marina de Cascais
Visiting by boat
Marina de Cascais is the largest marina on the Portuguese Riviera and one of the top three in the country, sitting right in the heart of a town with a palace, a fortress, and winding cobblestone streets worth exploring on foot. The vibe here is polished but relaxed — docking services are top-notch, and you're only a 40-minute train ride from Lisbon if you want to dip into the city. Genuinely hard to beat as a base on the Atlantic coast.
From the marina's website, checked Oct 11. Confirm with the marina before arrival.
