Tips from the Community

June 24, 2026, Praia da Parede

Parede Beach (Praia da Parede) is a characteristic urban beach located in the town of Parede, in the municipality of Cascais, about 19 kilometers from Lisbon. It is famous along the Portuguese Riviera, especially for its therapeutic properties linked to the very high concentration of iodine and excellent sun exposure, historically exploited for the treatment of bone diseases.

Praia de São Pedro do Estoril is one of the most charming and peaceful beaches on the Costa do Sol, ideal for those looking to relax away from the hustle and bustle of the more central beaches of Estoril and Cascais. It boasts fine, golden sand, with a narrow strip that turns into natural pools among the rocks at low tide, very popular with children and teenagers.

A gourmet restaurant with a privileged view of the sea. Bérrio was one of the vessels on Vasco da Gama's expedition that discovered the sea route to India. It got its name because it was sold to King Manuel I to be part of the Indian fleet by its owner, D. Manuel de Bérrio, a native of Lagos, who equipped it because he was a renowned pilot at the time.

Parede beach is one of the richest beaches in iodine in the world. Thanks to the combination of its richness in iodine with excellent sunshine, Parede beach is renowned for helping to treat bone and joint diseases, rickets as well as bone tuberculosis. Facing the sea, there is the Santa Ana Orthopedic Hospital, which is a reference at European level for treating bone diseases.
