Praia da Comporta

Alcácer do Sal, Setúbal

Excellent

Comporta has become a fashionable destination among the Portuguese and international jet set, with deserted white-sand beaches framed by pine woods and rice paddies that create a singular, cinematic landscape. The relaxed, almost bohemian lifestyle, the food and the design shops give Comporta a charm that sets it apart from any other Portuguese seaside destination.
