Algarve Circle/Places to visit/Praia da Marinha viewpoint

The clifftop above Praia da Marinha, one of the most photographed stretches of coast in Portugal. From the path along the top you look down on the double sea arch and the honey-coloured stacks standing in the clearest water on the Lagoa coast. This is also one end of the Seven Hanging Valleys trail, which runs west along the cliffs past Benagil to Vale de Centeanes.
