Ponta da Piedade, located near Lagos, Portugal, is a stunning natural landmark featuring dramatic cliffs, sea caves, and rock formations accessible primarily by boat or a long set of stairs. Boat tours are readily available from Lagos marina and offer the best views of the grottos, costing approximately €20-€30 per person and lasting about 1-2 hours. Walking along the cliff tops is free but requires caution. The site is generally accessible year-round, but boat tours are weather-dependent and may be restricted during stormy conditions. While exploring independently is possible, a guided boat tour provides valuable insights into the area's geology and history. Accessibility for individuals with mobility issues is limited due to the steep cliffs and boat access. Visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring or fall) offers pleasant weather and fewer crowds. A typical visit lasts 2-3 hours, depending on whether you choose to take a boat tour or simply admire the views from the top.
