Tips from the Community
A lighthouse with beautiful views. I especially recommend the sunset, which is spectacular. On either side are the ruins of ancient coastal batteries, now devoid of cannons, but their bases serve as viewing points, although abandoned and in poor condition. Access is easy by road, although it is somewhat narrow and we must be careful on the curves.

A recreational area or picnic area located next to the estuary offers beautiful views, with five stone barbecues and five large wooden tables. Numerous large trees provide shade. There are two ways to get there: - via the path that runs under the highway and descends toward the estuary (you can drive up to that point or just beyond) - from the Couto Monastery, in this case on foot and crossing the tracks (⚠️⚠️⚠️ Be careful as trains pass by, they are infrequent and can be seen from a distance, but be careful)

A spot with spectacular views of the coast, we even managed to see the Meiras Lighthouse in the distance. Access is via paths and trails that are generally wide and in fairly good condition, suitable for both walking and mountain biking (there are sections with loose rocks, steep slopes, etc., but it's easy to do). It's definitely worth a visit and enjoying the views 😍
