We didn't have a problem on Wednesday at noon. 40 euro for umbrella and servers for food and drink. Sparkling sangria was the bomb. Super convenient and to shops, bars and restaurants. Great spot to go in Portugal if you are a beach goer. Minor restaurant snafu brought a cheeseburger when we asked for no cheese. It took some time but the brought that out when another veggie sandwich.! Not needed but nice touch. Thoroughly enjoyed the beach and shops around.

The sand was perfect and typically I am not an ocean person. I like pools and fresh water lakes mostly but the water was SO nice at this beach and genuinely so refreshing. I barely even noticed it was salt water. It's located close to a ton of stores and restaurants/cafes and the city of Cascais is just super walkable in general.

It was a little chilly and windy, so the beach was empty and we didn't get to swim, but we enjoyed…read morethe scenery for a little while. The waves were crashing and it was pretty soothing. We could see the outdoor pool of the Estalagem Muchaxo hotel, and there were even a couple of people fishing off of the high rocks. Our tour guide told us it's a really popular place to surf when the weather is warm, especially for kite surfers, so I can only imagine how full the beach would get, since it's actually smaller than I thought it would be. Either way, great views!

The view is nice, although not as clear as at some other miradouros. It's also not as crowded. There are shady spots up top, as well as lots of space for sunbathing on the large lower (middle?) level patio. Unfortunately, the quiosque at Torel, which is tucked out of the way in the middle level, has been closed for quite some time now. Last summer they set up a food truck on weekends, but usually you need to bring your own food and drinks. The lack of a quiosque also means there is no bathroom. While I've seen plenty of people go in the bushes, I prefer the Goethe Institute bathrooms (which also has a garden with a cafe). It would be nice if the freguesia opened the public bathrooms in the park attached to their building. There was some viral post claiming that the lower fountain, which is pretty big, is a swimming pool. It is not a swimming pool. It's a fountain. It's like two feet deep. No one is going to stop you from going in either fountain, and I've seen plenty of kids playing in both, but neither is large enough to swim in. Nor is there any sort of filtration system like a public pool would have. And, quite often, one or both fountains has no water at all. While they don't have swimming pool, beer, or toilets, Torel has a nice view, lots of benches, and ping pong.
