If you in Sagres, (and have a car) this is close by and worth visiting. It has a nice shop and sweeping views of the coast! Be sure to bring your camera.

Well you would expect a lighthouse to be in a prominent location and this one is just that. Unparalleled views to the east and west and a useful landmark for the coastal paths in both directions. We did get into the lighthouse and to honest you need to be a lighthouse efficionardo to get the maximum benefit. However, at 98 years old there is enough history and engineering to amuse even the most sceptical of visitors. Manned by enthusiastic volunteers they tour lasts about 20 mins up the stairs, see the light, go outside for the view and then back down again. It’s not Disney but it’s a glimpse into the world of operational light houses which is unusual.
