Galapinhos Beach is a sandy beach in Setúbal, in the Serra da Arrábida, located at 38.48364, -8.96793. Access is indicated as allowed. It is part of the Arrábida Natural Park and was voted the best European beach in 2017 by European Best Destinations.

Its immediate environment is rich in small beaches: Coelhos Beach at 0.2 km, Monte Branco Beach at 0.3 km, Galápos Beach at 0.4 km, Monte Branco Beach at 0.5 km, and Creiro Beach around 1 km. The choice can therefore be made finely according to the access of the day.

About this spot
