Stand on the cliff above Marinha Beach and the Atlantic will seem to test your resolve: a ribbon of turquoise below, arches and stacks carved in sun‑baked limestone, waves nudging hidden coves. The path threads seven abrupt valleys—each a different mood—where wind and water have shaped arches, islets and narrow beaches.
