Light Over the Atlantic

Standing at the mouth of Cascais, the Santa Marta Lighthouse is a coastal icon blending maritime history and natural beauty. Built in 1868 on the site of an old fortress, it guided fishermen and sailors for decades.

Today, it houses a museum telling the story of Portuguese lighthouses and offers stunning views over the marina and the sea. Its striking blue-and-white striped tower by the crystal-clear water makes it an ideal photo spot.
