Ponta do Altar Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

The Ponta do Altar Lighthouse (Farol da Ponta do Altar) stands on a cliff near Ferragudo, near Praia do Molhe. Built in 1893, it guides ships at the entrance to the mouth of the Rio Arade River. Small and white with a red roof, the lighthouse is situated on a magnificent viewpoint with panoramic views of the sea, Portimão, and the coastline. The surrounding area is ideal for clifftop walks.

March 28, 2025,Steilküste Carvoeiro - Portimão

This is basically a continuation of our first cliff tour three days ago, not quite. We start a few kilometers west. And again, it's magnificent. A taxi ride from Portimão costs €30, followed by a ferry.
