The Portuguese capital has been quite a popular destination for North America’s daily Metro newspapers. Last week the American edition featured a 2 Minute Guide to Lisbon, and yesterday the Canadian edition recommended the city’s beaches and beach bars.
It does in fact highlight the best ones, including my personal favorite, Borda D’Agua in Praia Morena.
Another recommendation was Bar do Guincho, a Cascais hotspot at any time of the year, and the two other choices were Bafureira in Estoril, and Delmare Café in Costa da Caparica.

If you think it’s too soon to be talking about Lisbon’s beaches and its bars, you must remember that summer essentially starts in May in this central-southern part of Portugal. While we may be getting the usual April showers this week, we can expect plenty of beach-worthy days next month. The water will still be cold, but it will already be pleasant enough for sports on the sand and catching some sun at a beach bar — and those recommended by Canada’s Metro are in fact the ones to be at.
