Visiting Praia da Ursa is one of the most unforgettable day trips from Quinta do Griffo. Located just past Cabo da Roca, this wild beach is famous for its dramatic rock formations and untouched atmosphere.
How to get there
From the Griffo, take the road to Galamres station, then continue towards Cabo da Roca. You can hike down a steep trail (about 20 minutes) — bring proper shoes.
Good to know
- No lifeguards, strong currents — swim with caution.
- Bring water and snacks; there are no cafés or shops.
- Perfect for sunset views if you’re ready for the climb back.
Griffo tip: Adventurers can walk via Sintra’s old town before heading towards the coast, making it a full cultural + nature day.
