		This town was a small fishing port throughout early history as it lies protected from nature’s elements at the mouth of the Rio Tejo.
		In 1926 the railway line from Lisbon to Cascais was the first to be electrified in Portugal and this also had a positive economic effect.
		Within easy reach of Cascais is the famous beach at Guincho with its high waves that attract windsurfers from all around the world as having some of the best rollers in Europe.
