By Erin Oliveri
VACATIONS
Comporta in west Portugal offers a serene beach scene that begs to be explored. The area’s golden sand and chic accommodations earned it the title "Hamptons of Portugal."
For those who want to dive into the ocean, head over to the Garrett McNamara Experience at CostaTerra Golf & Ocean Club to learn surfing from the best on big and small waves.
If you prefer staying on land, check out Cavalos na Areia, a local horseback riding outfitter beloved by celebrities. The company offers land, nature, sand, and water experiences.
At the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve, you can try to see some of the over 250 species of birds or spot pods of bottlenose dolphins along the bay or on a boat at high tide.
Visitors can stay at the luxurious Sublime Comporta and eat at the onsite restaurants or at Cavalariça, a Michelin-recommended restaurant in a restored horse stable.
