No Experience Required

You step off the van at the Praia da Marinha viewpoint and the coast announces itself all at once: a ragged band of limestone cliffs, honey-colored and cut by the sea into arches, stacks and secret balconies. Salt and warm sun lift off the water; a gull wheels and announces the next inlet. The guide points out the heart-shaped aperture in the rocks and, on a clear day, the water below flashes turquoise so bright it seems painted.
