Many easily accessible beaches run along the coast from Estoril to Cascais. The closest beaches to the GG event space are '''Praia da Poça''' and '''Praia do Tamariz'''. Both beaches are only a 15-minute walk from the event space and have nice beach bars for lunch or drinks while you are relaxing in the sun.  
 
If you want to go a bit farther, you can take the train from Estoril station to Cascais station, then bike or take a ride share/taxi to Praia do Guincho. Praia do Guincho is a famous beach for windsurfing and is inaccessible by public transportation.

Praia do Guincho is a beautiful Atlantic-facing beach famous for both surfing and kite surfing. The 10km (about 30 minutes/1 hour round trip) bike ride runs alongside the N247 on a separate bike path starting in Cascais. The path runs alongside the coast and affords views of tourist sights like the Farol do Guia lighthouse, the São Jorge de Oitavos fort and the fortaleza do Guincho.  
 
Rent city bicycles [https://mobi.cascais.pt/geral/quiosques-mobicascais here] - these bikes are part of the city of Cascais cycling program. Prices are cheaper but don’t expect high quality bikes.
