LAGOS BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Sunset Between Sea‑arches: A Private Cruise to Ponta da Piedade
A 90‑minute private boat from Lagos Harbor that puts you at the base of Ponta da Piedade’s sea caves and rock towers for a swim and a sunset—this guide explains what the trip does and what to expect.
Sunset Between Sea‑arches: A Private Cruise to Ponta da Piedade.
Embark from Lagos Harbor aboard a private boat for a short, romantic cruise to Ponta da Piedade. From the water you’ll thread between brown‑red cliffs, sea caves and golden beaches, drop anchor at the iconic rock formations and—if you wish—take a swim before finishing as the sun lowers into the Atlantic.
