What makes a good sunset in the Algarve?
The Algarve's western coast faces the Atlantic with dramatic golden limestone cliffs, sea arches, and stacks as ready-made foreground. Ponta da Piedade near Lagos is the most-photographed spot: layered rock formations carved by the sea with the water turning gold below at sunset. The Sagres peninsula at the southwest tip of Portugal gives a pure ocean horizon with cliffs dropping straight into the sea. Summer and autumn bring reliably clear conditions and the sea cliff color is strongest in the hour before sunset.
