The Praia do Meco is a gorgeous sandy beach at the southern end of the Costa da Caparica coastline.
The beach is infamous throughout Portugal as it was the first nudist beach in the country, but today there is a clear designation between the family-friendly sections and the nudist beach (which is further to the south of the coastline).
The Praia do Meco is a pristine beach with a beautiful natural setting, and apart from a couple of beach restaurants, there is no sign of human interference for kilometers in either direction.
This stretch of coastline is protected by the “Arriba Fossil” nature preserve, which limits any developed close to the fossil-rich cliffs or within the sand dune pine forests.
When the weather is good (no wind!), there is no better beach than Meco.
