Nice castle on the coast where you can walk around freely. There's no ticket booth or price of admission. It's a little odd to wander about as it's not made up all touristy and has dead ends. There seems to be a functioning office/meeting room area taking up a portion of the castle too.

I didn't go inside so cannot comment on that. Outside was nice but needs some cleaning up of debris.

Nice stonework, nothing amazing but worth a leisurely stroll. Free to enter.

Interesting historical site. Free entry. Little to no interpretive information in any language throughout the site but you are free to wander and it isn't very busy. Offers a great view of the river and surrounding sand bars. There is a Portuguese Wikipedia entry on the site which I'd recommend viewing and translating on a mobile device. There are new facilities within the upper level for the church organization and national defense. There is also a gift shop of sorts.

Place worth to see when you are in Lisbon. Nice to walk straight the ocean and come back by public bus.

What a wonder breeze by the sea!

Impressive waves here. Would have been a surfer's paradise, although maybe the fact that they are cordoned off says that it is probably too dangerous to surf. Got some really good pictures though. Definitely worth a visit. Bus route 500 will get you there and back
