Cape Espichel is a cape with impressive views of its cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean. Famous for the sanctuary complex built on the edge of the cliff and the several dinosaur fossil trackways.
The Cabo Espichel is the bleak and wild-swept headland at the southwestern tip Setubal Peninsula. This is a dramatic coastline of towering cliffs, barren wind-blasted landscapes and massive Atlantic Ocean waves. Contained within this bleak and rugged scenery are some fascinating tourist sights, including a pilgrimage church, a powerful lighthouse and two sets of dinosaur footprints. Meandering along the cliff tops are a series of scenic coastal footpaths, and these head north to the deserted beaches of the Costa da Caparica coastline. The Cabo Espichel is a fantastic destination to visit if you appreciate nature’s raw beauty, and is an enjoyable excursion from Sesimbra or as part of a day trip from Lisbon.
