Costa da Caparica is een smalle strook land langs de Atlantische oceaan op de South bank van Lisbon, Portugal. Het bestaat uit verschillende substranden die allen samen hun belang hebben voor toerisme, maar ook een uitweg bieden voor stedelingen die er een dagje tussenuit willen.
Costa da Caparica is een stad en freguesia in de Portugese gemeente Almada in het district Setúbal. In 2001 was het inwonertal 11.707 op een oppervlakte van 10,88 km². Costa da Caparica heeft sinds 9 december 2004 de status van stad (cidade).
Een freguesia is het laagste niveau van bestuurlijke indeling in Portugal. Portugal telde tot de bestuurlijke herindeling van 2013 meer dan 4200 freguesias, die alle weer behoren tot een município (gemeente), ook wel concelho genoemd. Elke Portugese gemeente bestaat uit minstens één freguesia.
As for the distance, Costa da Caparica is approximately 10.5 miles away from Lisbon. There are several ways to travel from the center of Lisbon to Costa da Caparica. Each mode of transportation also crosses the Tagus River from Lisbon to Costa da Caparica. Here are the options, feel free to choose the option that suits you best:
