Coast/Beach
Arguably Europe's finest beach -- Guincho -- is five minutes' drive away, and is well known for the windsurfing and surfing on offer. Courses can be arranged at the beach. It's a stunning 2-3 kilometre sandy beach, though can be windy and/or rough. There are two other beaches -- Abano and Cresmina -- either side of Guincho. Cascais also has a couple of beaches, ideal and safe for children. A little further afield are the beaches of Adraga, Praia Grande and Praia das Maças.
Golf
There are several courses about 10-15 minutes' drive: Quinta da Beloura, Quinta da Marinha, Estoril, Penha Longa (site of the European Championship), Oitavos and Estoril Sol. About 14 others are within an hour's drive. Green fees are usually less expensive and courses less crowded than in the Algarve. Visitors with a club handicap are welcome everywhere. There are two nine-hole courses recommended for beginners at Estoril Sol and Penha Longa. A worthwhile course for a day out is Praia del Rei.
Travel
Lisbon airport is about 35 kilometres away via motorway, which ends five minutes away from our village. Convenience without the traffic noise. Car hire is recommended. The village has a reliable bus service to Cascais centre and railway station, from where trains go every 20 minutes to Belém and Lisbon. The train journey to Lisbon takes about 35 minutes.
Distances
Cascais is a picturesque fishing village grown up into a bustling tourist town (about 10 kilometres away). It has a marina, park, cultural centre, historic buildings and churches, plenty of bars and restaurants and offers some good shopping, Boca do Inferno, plus a good coastal cycle path/road to Guincho.
Historical Sintra is about 15 kilometres away. Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point of Continental Europe, is 10 km away and a beautiful drive through the mountains and along the coast.
Further details
Charneca has a riding stables, a restaurant/bar, launderette, some small shops such as a basic supermarket, and a fruit and vegetable shop. A vegetable truck comes twice weekly and stops outside the house. A couple of fish vans stop in the village, ask in the village. Malveira da Serra is about 3 kilometres' drive away and is well stocked with a good supermarket, bakery, a couple of hairdressers, bank, photo developer, butchers, a newsagents (with foreign newspapers), pizzeria, framing shop, and a few others. Aldeia de Juso, about 2 kilometres the other way, also has a supermarket, and a post office, butchers, hairdressers, etc. The area is good for hiking, mountain biking, sailing (Cascais) and other outdoor activities. Guincho has some superb restaurants.
