About
Quick facts: Sea caves carved by Atlantic waves reveal layers of volcanic rock and fossilized marine life. Local legends say hidden chambers once served as pirate hideouts and smugglers’ dens.
Highlights: Jagged walls sparkle with ancient shells and calcium deposits that glow faintly in the dim light. A narrow tunnel leads to a secret beach where only a lucky few surfers catch the untouched waves.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes to navigate slippery rocks safely.
- Bring a flashlight to fully enjoy the darkest cave chambers.
- Visit on weekdays for a quieter experience.
- Don’t miss the viewpoint above the caves for panoramic ocean shots.
