Lovely hiking experience, however path not clear to find and couldn't spot access to the beach. Stayed on the cliff enjoying lovely views. Near by (walking distance by the cliff) is a sandy beach. Walk on the cliff is not safe for small children, there are not steps, just wild rocky paths.

Fabulous geological formations. Reminiscent of praia do castelo which is nearby, but while the latter is partially wheelchair accessible, the former is not.
