More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Lagos Marina and the Atlantic opens like a moving map: ochre cliffs give way to arches, grotto mouths and stacks carved into the coastline over millennia. The catamaran slips past Ponta da Piedade’s honey‑coloured sandstone—its arches and sea caves reveal layers of erosion and sudden shafts of aqua where the water cuts deep.
