At Ponta da Piedade, just outside Lagos, you'll find several stunning viewing platforms on the cliffs. From there, you can gaze out over impressive rock formations, clear turquoise water, sea caves, and natural arches.

The platforms are accessible via wooden walkways and stairs and offer spectacular panoramas, especially at sunrise or sunset.

The circular path at Ponta da Piedade is wonderfully constructed with wooden walkways and viewing terraces. Unfortunately, countless tourists still climb over the barriers to take a pointless Instagram snapshot 🙄

Unfortunately, safeguards are also necessary. Every year there are still tragic accidents with selfie fans 🤷🏻‍♀️
