Snakes' Waterfall

You have to watch out for the ebb and flow of the tides on the narrow beaches. A visit to the waterfalls is definitely worth it. Its water drains into the sea.

And again many stork nests on the cliffs. On the way we pass Praia da Amalia, named after a famous fado singer. A part of the path is closed and it is about a large plantation.
