Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the beaches are more attractive to the south of Lisbon, the Alentejo, and the west coast of the Algarve, within the natural park and Costa Vicentina. The list of the beaches of praise is great but what I want to emphasize here is the Guincho, the beach Cremisna, Fortress of Guincho (Drums of the Highlands) and the beach of fresh water.
The beach of Freshwater, better known as the small beach of Guincho, is a small niche of sand between the beach and the Cresmina great beach of Guincho. Its location makes it sheltered from strong winds that sometimes occupy the beaches nearby. Another attraction is the existence of a small pool whose use ocean, not be monitored, requires all the wisdom and is even impossible in times of oil-filled. Not being served by facilities to support themselves, this small beach benefits from the proximity of terraces and restaurants that serve the nearby beaches. The Road to the Guincho, incidentally, has several high-end restaurants that take advantage of the views of the sea. Access to this small beach is through a staircase that connects the car park at the top of the cliff. This parking also serves the large beach of Guincho.
As one of the most famous and popular beaches of Cascais, is a place frequented by families, and for many young athletes, as the beach of Gincho is one of the most prominent places to practice activities such as Surfing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing. It is a long beach of fine sand and gold. Its waters are crystal clear, sometimes cold but pleasant and with constant wave. The level of occupancy in July and August is very high.
It is a place of leisure throughout excellence with a beautiful landscape of rarity that neither the constant winds felt depart from all his visitors and tourists.
Formerly called the High Battery (Hotel of Guincho or Fortress of Guincho) one of many fortifications miles of the coast of Cascais. In short what is today the Hotel of the Guincho not always was, then see a story about the battery of High:
In 1762, in the context of the Seven Years' War, Portugal was on the verge of waging war with Spain, so D. Joseph ordered a reform of the army, led by Count of Lippe, which included "(…) increased land and maritime defense of the Kingdom.." To strengthen the defence of the Tagus bar, the Crown had built four forts at Cascais line, the de Catalazete, in Oeiras, and the batteries of Crismina, Galé and Alta, in Guincho.
Introducing planimetrias similar, the structure of these batteries was a body angle, with parapet and platform, which was built behind the aircraft and space of barracks.
With the end of the conflict, these fortifications lost their military functions, being gradually phased out, until the first decades of the nineteenth century were "signs of deep abandonment."
During the War Liberals in 1831, D. Miguel ordered that the repair works were carried out in three batteries, so that they could get back pieces of artillery and their trimmings. With the victory of the troops of D. Pedro in 1833, the strengths are again shut down and doomed to abandonment.
At the end of the nineteenth century, the batteries were "declassified as military fortifications" and sold at auction. The battery of Upper was practically destroyed, and in its place was built an hotel, the Hotel of Guincho, inaugurated in 1959, "which just took the old building."
