Farol da Ponta do Altar

The best spot for sunsets. The sun sets a bit over the countryside so this spot provides nice view across the ocean. Beautiful landscape view of passing ships on horizon and view over portimaõ & lagos.
Quiet and peaceful spots provide nice privacy.

Nice out towards Atlantic and Portimao Marina in front.

Gorgeous place to visit.

Lighthouse open for public tour once a week, check for times.
Stunning views down the coast from here. Very scenic cliff tops for walking and cycling.

Definately a must stop if you visit Lagoa Algarve this lighthouse lights the was to the port of Portimao , from the cliffs you will be able to lookout as far as the city of Lagos to your right and to your left you will be able on a clear day be able to see as far as Armação de Pêra. Plus its a favorite cliff fishing spot.

Lovely spot for a sunrise and sunset in the winter months.

Very nice place with stunning views overlooking the Arade River, Portimao and Atlantic Ocean

Super starting point for a hike to great swimming beaches

Nice views and nice place to fish!

Great spot to watch sunset

In loco erosion in Ponta do Altar.

Geography students would wet themselves with excitement. So many coastal processes going on that I have forgotten about since school. There was a big hole thing with the sea in the bottom with a questionable safety fence. Spectacular view to next bay

Beautiful place with a nice lighthouse. Amazing view It has wonderful views over Praia da Rocha and the east and west coast of the Algarve.

Nice view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Great experience.Amazing views .good write up about the history of the lighhouse on the front plaque

Beautiful place, wonderful views. Short hike to the beach.

Beautiful walk from the lighthouse down to the cove.

Nice place overlooking caneiros beach on 1 side and ferragudo portimao and Praia de rocha on the other

Very beautiful
