GT Carcavelos Beach

Carcavelos is a parish in the Portuguese municipality of Cascais, about 12 km west of Lisbon. It has one of the best beaches in the Estoril coast. The village used to be known for the Carcavelos wine, but since the wine production is nowadays reduced, Carcavelos is better known among surfers because of the good surfing condition of the Carcavelos beach. Body surfing is also becoming very popular, although with a different approach from the practised in The Wedge in Newport Beach, California.



Carcavelos also marks the mouth of the Tagus River. To the east side of the Carcavelos beach there is a huge fortification named Forte de São Julião da Barra. It used to protect the Tagus river entrance from enemy ships. Currently it is used as the official summer residence of the Ministry of Defence.

Cache
This cache will take you to the Carcavelos Beach. There are a lot of parking areas near the cache.
Please, you don't need to search in the vegetation, take care of it.
If you have time, bring your surf equipments, bikinis or sand toys. And enjoy your life!
This is our first cache, so don't expect too much, we did our best and were inspirited by caches of Porteladas and Oliveiras.

Fim de semana ao final de tarde com sol, muitos muggles e uma imensidão de possíveis locais onde esconder uma micro.
Ao fim de uns 45 - 60 minutos e já com pouquíssimo sol demos por encerradas as buscar.
Julgávamos ter percebido a dica, mas afinal parece que não.

Fica na memória um belo pôr do sol.

Já cá havia estado, mas por causa de uns muggles, não tive oportunidade de explorar melhor o local.
Sem os ditos no local, foi chegar e logar.
Mais uma antes do almoço, esta manhã correu extraordinariamente bem!

À segunda foi de vez... há sempre muggles por perto!
A praia á noite tem o seu encanto.
Na companhia do golag junior.
