The Ponta do Altar Lighthouse (Farol da Ponta do Altar) stands on a cliff near Ferragudo, near Praia do Molhe. Built in 1893, it guides ships at the entrance to the mouth of the Rio Arade River. Small and white with a red roof, the lighthouse is situated on a magnificent viewpoint with panoramic views of the sea, Portimão, and the coastline. The surrounding area is ideal for clifftop walks.

Beautiful old lighthouse, the sight of which is unfortunately clouded by the neighboring gray tower. Maybe the tower should be painted white.
