Walked from Lagos, beautiful views along the way - would suggest good walking shoes or trainers, many steps but well worth it! More

This was so cool! Book your boattrip with the most friendly guy > Wilson. When you visit Lagos, this is definately something to do. You miss out on a great experience if you don't do it! More

A great spot for photos of the coastline and rock formations. Good to spend an hour wandering around and having a coffee maybe. Worth doing. More

On a clear day, this place is amazing. Look out into nothingness or back towards the mountains. The contrast of orange rocks and caves against the incredibly blue green sea is breath-taking More

Beautiful, picturesque, stunning. We hiked down the stairs to the little boat dock and paid for a 45 min tour through the waters below the Ponta da Piedade. Had a great time touring through the caves on the water and also enjoyed the views from up top. Can't miss it. Plan on 1.5 hours there. More

Take your time and walk down the stairs to the grottos. Go during high tide and low tide and see the difference and the beauty. Take your time coming up and then go for a drink at Camilo Restuarant. More

Paid 10€/person to have a fisherman take us on a half hour tour of the grottos- possibly the highlight of our 9 days in Portugal! Came back the next day to take pre sundown hike-... More
