Av 25 de Abril, 2970, Sesimbra
Been here?
This is a huge parking area at Cabo Espichel, beside a hermitage, water house with aqueduct and lighthouse, with magnificent views. Recent stays report quiet nights, although cars may pass until 22h-23h and people sometimes play music and dance. Toilets have often been closed; bins are available, and water from the nearby aqueduct is not drinkable. There is no prohibition sign for motorhomes.

We were only there during the day, but it was very nice for walking.Translating
We spent very quiet night here on June 24, no cars until the morning. Breathtaking views in the evening.
Very beautiful place, but dozens of cars pass through until 10 or 11 p.m. There are also people hanging around to listen to music and dance outside their cars. The toilets close when the food trucks leave.Translating
We spent a very peaceful night. You can walk very well here or simply enjoy the views. Unfortunately, the toilet was locked, but bins were available.Translating
Dream location. To the right, the abbey and its viewpoints; to the left, the lighthouse and its coastal trail, initially flat and then a real path through increasingly wild and beautiful vegetation, since walkers do not go beyond the flat section. Be careful to park properly: the centre and perimeter are traffic lanes, including for buses.Translating
Great place to spend the night and enjoy “Bacalhau com Natas” at the lovely ladies' little restaurant.Translating
We watched a magnificent sunset. Very peaceful night and a sense of security with five or six motorhomes together. Also ideal for a run the next morning—10 km on the coastal GR trail. Superb place.Translating
First night in a Van for me. That place was really nice and quiet. You can do long walks and enjoy the evening. There were only 2 other vans.
I was completely alone for one night. In the morning, the first bus arrived promptly at 7:30. It can be very windy! A wonderful overnight spot; the car park is also lit at night, but the toilets were locked. Good place to end the day with an impressive and interesting walk. Be sure to walk to the derelict building on the cliffs—a real lost place.Translating
Very beautiful spot. The church looks ruined from the outside, but inside it is simply exceptional. I arrived on Saturday and everything was peaceful, but on Sunday morning the bikers arrived revving their engines loudly, so I preferred to leave. I cannot stand bikers.Translating
Large parking area. We were there at the beginning of December with two other campers. The GNR came by in the evening but did not make contact. There is a small café next to the parking area with a toilet for customers only. When we were there, food and drink stalls with a terrace were being set up from 8 a.m. on Sunday because there was a motorcycle rally that day. The other two campers had to move.Translating
Lots of parking spaces, quiet and peaceful. The toilets are still closed, but there are bins and non-potable water from the nearby aqueduct, by the “water house.” Stunning views. We stayed for two nights.Translating
Very quiet motorhome stop with many free spaces. During my visit there were only two other campers and no wind. Toilets are available but were unfortunately locked and unusable. The sunset was wonderfully beautiful. Overnight stays are possible without problems; there were no police or signs prohibiting them.Translating
