Best for sunrise, heading east. We were unfortunately late, but the morning was still amazing, with few people and great light.

Algar dos Capitães — Natural Sea Arch

Algar dos capitães - a cave open to the public, but to visit you need a board, kayak or small boat. You can look in from above, but you can't even begin to see the dimensions.
