    The oldest in Portugal and the largest of its kind in Europe. CASINO DE ESTORIL is a multi- entertainment center offering a wide variety of games as well as daily cabaret and music hall shows. Besides gambling, the casino is a regular venue for all types of temporary exhibitions, particularly modern art and sculptures.
    In a scenic setting overlooking Tamariz Beach, the Casino has attractive gardens with tall palm trees and fountains.

    Being at the westernmost point, presumably the first sight of Europe for many returning mariners.

    You can also walk along the clifftop/side paths, quite a way if you are brave/foolhardy enough (? since a very stiff breeze may be blowing - it is quite a drop to those rocks). You can get away from the crowds enough to concentrate on the vastness of the ocean and contemplate the unknown which faced the early navigators.

    Before we went to the beach we had a quick look around Estoril. The nicest area we found was the Parque do Estoril above the beach. The park is a nice place to relax and we spent a time hiding from the sun beneath the trees. There are fountains, flowers and statues - the only thing that looks out of place is the casino at its northern end.

    The casino looked very tacky by day. Perhaps it looks better in the evening. It's the biggest casino in Europe and as we found few bars and restaurants in Estoril, perhaps it is the place to go if you are staying here.

    The busiest part of Estoril, at least during our visit, was the beach. In mid-July with extremely high temperatures you'd expect no less. The beach is quite nice though parts of it were sectioned off and you had to pay to sunbathe here. The water wasn't too clean which was a little surprising given how popular Estoril is with tourists.

    Cabo Da Roca - ponta mais ocidental do continente Europeu, as the monument states - the most westerly point of mainland Europe. Significant therefore as pretty much the edge of the known world for the early transoceanic explorers.

    Estoril is the home of one of the biggest water organs in te world. Not only does the fountain use different rays and colours. You can also see pictures and video in the water. It is really an amazing site to see, and a must see when you are around.

    Golden sandy beaches
  • By john82khr on October 8, 2005

  • Sit/lie on the beaches & get a good tan. Sandy beaches, with some loungers for hire. There is a wide promenade behind the beaches, with showers, toilets & changing rooms, recycling points, and cafes. There are underpasses to get under the railway line & the main road. Watched a lot of people sailing out of the harbour at Cascais. There are some seawater swimming pools. A lovely spot to do nothing.

    Note that the tide can come in quite quickly, so be prepared to grab your towel & shoes and run!
