About
Quick facts: Golden cliffs here rise up to 30 meters above the Atlantic, creating dramatic views and crystal-clear waters below. The beach is famous for its natural arches and sea caves shaped by centuries of waves and wind.
Highlights: A standout feature includes two stunning natural rock arches linked by a narrow strip of beach, offering a perfect frame for photos. The vibrant orange cliffs contrast vividly against the turquoise sea, especially under the late afternoon sun.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for walking on rocky trails to the beach.
- Capture the sunset from the cliff tops for a spectacular view.
- Arrive early on weekends to beat the crowd and secure a good spot on the sand.
- Avoid midday sun by bringing a hat and sunscreen.
