The Tróia Peninsula is located next to the Sado River estuary, in the municipality of Grândola, Portugal. Tourism is the peninsula's main activity due to its long beaches facing the Atlantic. There is a ferry boat connection between the peninsula and the city of Setúbal. Tróia has important archeological sites dating from the time when the peninsula was an island called Alcalá, settled by the Romans.

The peninsula has many hotels, some restaurants, a swimming pool and white sand beaches facing the Atlantic Ocean.
