From the sheltered quay at Porto de Abrigo, Rota das Maravilhas threads a compact, scenic arc along the Sesimbra coast to Cabo Espichel, calling at a chain of crystalline bays and dramatic shorelines—Ribeiro do Cavalo, Cova da Mijona, Cramesines and the enigmatic Praia do Inferno—each stop a distinct pocket of clear water and coastal character.
