Few things are better than being beside the sea. Round up the crew, arrange a picnic and enjoy some fresh air at Praia da California.

Located in Portugal, this stretch of coastline is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find a great deal more to check out in the area. Sesimbra Beach, Meco Beach, and Sesimbra Castle aren't too far away from Praia da California.

Just the best. Fabulous grounds and breakfast. Mildew smell in room was a bit off putting and the heater did not work but we loved the grounds and garden.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lawrence. The bed was the most comfortable out of all our stays so far in Portugal. From our check in to breakfast it was perfect. The young lady at breakfast was a delight and had many great suggestions.
