Ponta da Piedade

Ponta da Piedade is one of the most beautiful natural landmarks you can find along Portugal’s southern coast. Its huge cliffs, sea caves and rocky arches and sea arches add up to create a massive maze of natural wonders. Throw in some pretty incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean and you’ll understand immediately why people love to go on a guided boat tour around the area. During these tours, you can expect to head inside some of the sea caves, which have been carved out by the tide over thousands of years. But there’s more to this place than just its landscapes. The waters here are teaming with fish, seahorses and octopuses, making it some of the best snorkelling territory near the city of Lagos.
