Worth to go there! Beautiful place, if you are in Lagos just have a nice walk- for free 🙃 easy access, straight to the destination street. We felt really safe and welcomed wherever we went in Lagos. Enjoy!

Quite an experience of beauty at its best. A lovely walk along a beautiful boardwalk. We enjoyed this walk on the boardwalk and viewing the scenery along the way. A free and enjoyable thing to do while in the Algarve.

A Must-See Coastal Gem. Spectacular panoramic views that will leave you breathless — this coastline is drop-dead gorgeous. From dramatic cliffs to unique rock formations carved by time and tide, every angle offers a postcard-worthy scene. The turquoise ocean below sparkles like a jewel, and the sheer scale of the cliffs adds a sense of wonder that’s hard to put into words.
Be warned: the cliff edges are extremely windy, so proceed with caution. But if you’re up for it, walking along the very top is an unforgettable experience. My husband and I felt incredibly fortunate to witness such natural beauty — it’s the kind of moment that stays with you forever. While you can’t go inside the lighthouse, the exterior and surrounding views more than make up for it. It’s a place that deserves a spot on your lifetime travel list.
Pro Tip: Parking can be a challenge, especially during summer weekends when crowds peak. Arrive early or consider visiting during off-peak hours to truly soak in the serenity.

One of the best trips and moments of 2025! It was a perfect spring day (March) —no clouds, no wind, just a refreshing cool breath out on the ocean. The views of the rock formations were stunningly beautiful: arches appearing one after another, the sea shifting from deep blue to light turquoise and emerald green depending on where you were. Sunlight reflected off the cliffs, changing their colors from yellow to orange to rich brown.
Our guide navigated skillfully and pointed out the names of unique formations—camels, elephants, even “the Kissing Couple” arch where we were suggested to kiss each other going throgh it. Thinking of the history, it’s humbling to realize how many thousands of years it took to shape such landscapes.
We used the Days of Adventure for an tour operator. The boat trip cost €20 per person for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and it was worth every cent. It’s a completely different perspective compared to the hiking trail above, which is free and also offers spectacular views. But being out on the water, surrounded by cliffs and arches, made this experience unforgettable. The natural beauty is beyond words: stunning, breathtaking, amazing.

This place was beyond amazing. The views of the rock formations are mesmerizing. I did not want to leave. We arrived on the first day at 6:30 pm to see the sunset. It was cloudy but we stayed a while and the sky turned beautiful hues of pink. We returned the next day to get a better view of the rock formations. There's a lot of boardwalks to explore the areas. On the left side, there is a staircase that will take all the way down to the water and you have an option to pay for a boat ride; which last about 30-40 minutes that will take you through the grotto. I did not utilize this service due to lack of time, but I highly recommend it. Behind the small lighthouse you will find a small Cafe offering light snacks, with tables and chairs. Large parking lot available a short walk away with plenty of parking. The earlier you go the better to avoid large crowds.
