The rock arch is particularly impressive from below, from Praia da Estaquinha. Access leads through a cave that is only accessible at low tide. It couldn't be more spectacular.

Beautiful colored coastal landscape. The shapes of the rocks are created with water and wind.

Very beautiful (albeit small) beach on the rocky Algarve, right next to the Hotel Suites Alba Resort & Spa. Can be very stormy at times! There is a small beach bar (O'Pirata). Much visited by locals. When the sea is calm, there is a rocky passage to the neighboring beach (Praia da Estaquinha). Top! Certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in the ALGARVE. When the weather is nice it can get very crowded.
