Introduction
Ponta da Piedade lies beyond Lagos in Portugal's Algarve — a coastline wonder of golden rock pillars, natural arches and deep sea caves. The water shifts between emerald and deep blue among the reefs, and drifting by boat beneath the arches and into the caves is the most beloved way to experience it. From the clifftop wooden viewpoint and the white-and-red lighthouse, visitors take in both the grandeur of the Atlantic and the delicacy of the rock formations — a serene spot for photography and for waiting on the sunset.
