Albandeira Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

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.

Algar dos Capitães — Natural Sea Arch

Highlight • Natural Monument

Algar dos capitães - a cave open to the public, but to visit you need a board, kayak or small boat. You can look in from above, but you can't even begin to see the dimensions.

Abandoned Villa 'New Crew'

Highlight • Structure

A beautiful spot for a villa. Unfortunately, it's completely fenced off, totally run-down, and uninhabited. With some money and time, someone could create their own paradise here again.

October 14, 2021,Vom Praia Albandeira zum Praia de Marinha

Somehow all the beaches here are a highlight, Praia de Marinha in a different way than Praia Albandeira ... from the land side spectacular views, but without a boat tour only half the revelation ... definitely explore by boat or kayak!
