Arrábida off-season — beach, silence and an unhurried lunch
Between March and May, the Blue Coast becomes another. A short itinerary for short days, when the mountain still smells of rain.

Why March
Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus dolor auctor. The terraces reopen without the crowds. The light changes three times a day. And the sea, though still cold, has a colour you remember the whole summer.
Praesent commodo cursus magna, vel scelerisque nisl consectetur et. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.
"There is a moment, between February and April, when you can still have Galápinhos beach to yourself. Worth the trip."

Where to stop
Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod. A few points we like:
- Portinho da Arrábida — the classic stop, with a terrace that makes sense in any season.
- Praia dos Galápinhos — on foot only; the reward is worth it.
- Casal in Sesimbra — catch of the day and port views.
- Azeitão wineries — moscatel, cheeses, short time.
How to arrange it
Aenean lacinia bibendum nulla sed consectetur. Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper. Ideal is to book the day 2 weeks ahead so we can secure tables off the beaten circuit.
