areta Beach in Sagres, conveniently accessible by foot from the village, features a stunning view of the commanding Sagres Fortress standing proudly in the foreground.
Sagres Point (Ponta de Sagres) is a natural spot, featuring the iconic Sagres Fortress (Fortaleza de Sagres), the great compass rose embedded in the ground (the Rosa dos Ventos), and the small 14th-century chapel of Nossa Senhora da Graça.
The panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the stark cliffs, and the raw power of the sea crashing against the rocks make Ponta de Sagres a must-visit location for anyone traveling to Portugal’s Algarve region. The area is also a paradise for bird watchers as it’s a prime location for observing migratory birds.
