Sesimbra holidays - a wonderful family friendly resort sitting inbetween the Setúbal and Sesimbra mountain ranges backing on to the Arrábida National Park. The village sits on a wide sandy bay overlooked by steep cliffs on the left with the marina and busy fishing port to the right as you look out to sea. Fishing is big business here and is down to Sesimbra's position in the Setúbal Bay, near the mouth of the Sado River.

People come for a holiday in Sesimbra not just because of its gorgeous beaches and geographical setting, but also because it has so much history and culture surrounding it. From Moorish castles to National Parks, Sesimbra is blessed with so many treasures. Sesimbra Marginal street is where you will discover many cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.

Sesimbra takes some beating if you are looking for a family holiday as the beaches are fantastic. The beaches of Sesimbra are great for families with younger children as the waves are more gentle than other parts of the Atlantic coast and the waters are shallow. There are also many beach cafes and bars to eat and buy ice cream or drinks especially along the promenade.
