Boca do Inferno

Although this place's name can be quite scary (it means Hell's Mouth in English) there is nothing to be frightned about Boca do Inferno. It is actually a very beautiful and inspiring place.

It is a cliff where you can see the horizon, the Atlantic ocean, the seaside, boats and seagulls. Really beautiful

The spooky name is explained by the strong sound that the water does when the waves hit the stones.

Location

Boca do Inferno

is located in Cascais, a small beach city near Lisbon where the portuguese royal family used to go on vacations. You'll find many rich houses and small castles there.

Once in the center of Cascais, you can get to Boca do Inferno by a 2 km hike, or by bike, or by taxi. But it's a really nice walk where you can see many cool houses, and it doesn't take that long.

From the cliff, you can walk all the shore exploring the beaches, such as Praia da Rainha, on the way back to the center of the city.
