Ponta da Piedade, Algarve, Portugal

Ponta da Piedade, Algarve, Portugal

Golden sandstone arches and sea stacks that catch fire in the last hour of light, just outside Lagos. Walk the clifftop boardwalk for the panorama, or descend the long staircase to water level where the rocks frame the sinking sun. It's free, rarely oversubscribed outside August and followed by some of the Algarve's best seafood ten minutes away. Quietly perfect.
