Food Scene
This is a special place. It is small and you will have to book in advance (same day is fine). Their menu is full of adaptations of local dishes, inspired by the sea. It's delicious and always at the affordable Portuguese prices, and frequented by locals (me and my local family always go there when I'm home).

Stunning views over Lisbon. This sea food restaurant always has the freshest fish, picked daily from the local fisherman's and cooked as you best wish (for me, best is always grilled). The amazing terrace is right by the river front and boasts an incredible view over Lisbon and the Belém area. A must for a nice lunch with the family.

Parks & Nature
The beaches of Caparica are just amazing. Closer to Trafaria you can go to São João (5min away) where you will find less people. Even more special are the beaches of Cova do Vapor, right where the river meets the sea, in a small local town that tends to privilege their isolation - Cova do Vapor is a bonus finding. Once past Costa da Caparica heading south you will find breathtaking >10K long stretches of sandy beach which are perfect for anything beach-related, being surfing, family activities on the sand, coffees and lunches by the beach.
