Cabo Espichel Swim Tour - Half Day

This half-day open water swimming adventure takes you along the beautiful and secluded Praia da Baleeira, a small pebble beach tucked between the steep slopes of Cabo Espichel and protected by Forte S. Domingos da Baralha. Once a shelter for fishermen, traces of its past remain, adding charm to the journey. The swimming route is full of secret passages and offers a unique opportunity to observe dense forests of seaweed that serve as a habitat for various marine species. Swimmers may also spot shoals of bream and salemas, making the experience engaging for nature lovers. The guided adventure ensures safety with experienced instructors, boat and kayak support for groups, and includes a typical regional cake to enjoy during the tour. Photography opportunities are abundant, allowing participants to capture the stunning coastal scenery and memorable moments.

The tour begins at Marina de Sesimbra, where participants board a boat to reach Praia da Baleeira. The swim starts at Ponta da Passagem, passing under the crevice that gives the place its name, and continues toward the Arco da Pombeira, a striking natural arch that marks a highlight of the route. The journey concludes at Chã dos Navegantes, offering panoramic views of the Sesimbra coast. Support boats are nearby to ensure safety, and dolphins are sometimes spotted along the way, adding a magical touch to this unforgettable half-day adventure.
