Comporta today
Comporta is Portugal's best secret beach destination, endless stretches of blond sand, bordered by the sapphire blue Atlantic, attracting Portuguese celebrities and international VIPs, a relatively off-the-radar area of Portugal- except for the international cognoscenti - a surprisingly low-key jet-set resort area of vast empty beaches, rugged landscape, cool architecture, low-key restaurants, and amazing food. Hidden behind protected dunes and among pine forests, situated just over a one hour's drive south of Lisbon, Comporta is home to many iconic architectural gems and is a haven for outdoor activities from sailing, horse-riding, and birdwatching, and of course surfing.
