Description
Praia do Guincho (English: Guincho Beach) is an Atlantic beach located on Portugal's Estoril coast, 3 miles from the town of Cascais. Guincho has preferred surfing conditions and is popular for surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. In the 90's, Guincho was one of the locations for the windsurfing world cup. Today, several sporting events are held at Guincho regularly, including the Portuguese National Surfing and BodyBoarding Championships.
On a side note, this beach was famously featured in the pre-titles sequence of the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, wherein James Bond rescues Contessa Teresa de Vicenzo from a suicide attempt and foils off two attackers in the surf.

One of my absolutely favorite things - to walk toward the sea before the beaches are crowded while the sea is still in its "winter" mood in spite of the sun. I'd very much love to being taking this walk right now. Great DOF Marco and beautiful perspective. F/L T P
