Ponta da Piedade is a spectacular rocky coastline just south of Lagos, in the Algarve. It's known for its impressive limestone cliffs, natural arches, sea caves, and turquoise water. You can explore the area on foot via trails and steps, or from the water with a kayak or boat tour. It's one of the Algarve's most beautiful viewpoints, especially at sunrise or sunset.
