From here, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean, with its sparkling waters stretching as far as the eye can see. Cliffs and sandy beaches punctuate the landscape, with waves crashing against the shore. As you drive along this road, you can see hidden coves and sailboats gliding peacefully across the water.
