Cresmina Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Cresmina dunes are part of the Guincho-Cresmina dune system, located in the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park in Portugal. This dune system extends over 66 hectares and is considered unique due to the prevailing northwest winds, which cause the sand from the beaches of Guincho and Cresmina to return to the sea approximately 5 km to the south, near Guia, after migrating over a flat, rocky and largely uninhabited area of Cabo Raso.
