Bike rental in Comporta
Comporta is thirteen kilometres from Tróia, on flat road. Rent in Setúbal, cross the Sado by ferry and spend the day between rice fields, pine woods and one of the finest beaches in Europe.
Rice fields, pine woods and beach
After the ferry and the ride down the peninsula, the road runs with rice fields on one side and pine woods on the other. You reach Comporta almost without noticing, and from there there is sand in every direction. If you want more, carry on to Carrasqueira and its stilt pier, one of the most photographed spots on this coast.
- Rice fieldsThe landscape changes with the season: green in summer, a sheet of water in spring.
- Comporta beachKilometres of white sand and open sea, with dunes between it and the road.
- CarrasqueiraThe wooden stilt pier the fishermen built out over the marsh.
- Umbrella pinesShade and the smell of resin for most of the way.
What you need to know
It is flat and it is far. That combination is deceptive — plan the day.
Allow for the way back
It is thirteen kilometres from Tróia, but there is the ferry and the peninsula too. Count on a full day.
Which bike
Trekking or city. If you want to explore the sand tracks, take a mountain bike.
Sand
Off the tarmac the sand is deep. Do not try to cross it on narrow tyres.
Where to eat
There are places in Comporta and Carvalhal, but book ahead in summer.

What people ask most
Can I go and come back in a day
You can, but it is a full day. Many people stop at Tróia and leave Comporta for another time.
Is it really flat
It is. There is not a climb worth the name between Tróia and Comporta.
Do I need a special bike
No. A city bike is fine as long as you stay on tarmac and firm tracks.
Can you bring the bikes out there
Yes. Comporta is in delivery zone D, at €70 per movement, or €140 for delivery and collection.
