Guincho Beach is a popular Atlantic beach located on Portugal's Estoril Coast, 5 km from the town of Cascais, and is located in the municipality of Cascais, more precisely in the parishes of Cascais and Alcabideche,in the Lisbon district.

The beach has good surf and is popular for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing [ [http://www.portugalvirtual.pt/_tourism/costadelisboa/estoril/ Estoril's Coast / Costa de Estoril, Portugal - Tourism Information] ] .Strong northern winds are predominant during summer time (June-August) as well as smaller NW swells, making this beach ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing.During winter (especially December) the predominant winds are from the East, and swells increase in side, making it a perfect spot for surfing, with multible beach-breaks providing powerful lefts and rights.

There is camping available at nearby Orbitur Point. There are also nice, cheap restaurants, such as "O Biscoito" (translated means "The Biscuit").
