Praia da Murtinheira

Highlight • Beach

A dream beach straight out of a picture book. From the hill south of the beach you can enjoy a breathtaking view.

Coastal Road and Cliffs of Dunas de Mira

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here elements meet each other: where water bounces in the eternal beat of the sea on craggy rocks and dragging seagulls screaming. A path leads above a wild (impassable) sandy beach to a lighthouse.

Former coastal mine

Highlight • Structure

Simply known as la fabrica, the erstwhile mine operation has contributed to making the rough steep coast accessible, albeit still with a steep, gravel and dirt compacted road

View of the Cabo Mondego Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

This lighthouse built in the 19th century looks out over the sea from the top of the cliff. The road that passes under it is among the most scenic on the Portuguese coast.
