Sagres Essentials

Sagres marks the southwestern tip of Europe, defined by sheer limestone cliffs and a historical connection to the Age of Discovery. This collection includes the 15th-century Sagres Fortress, home to a massive stone wind compass, and the Lighthouse of Cabo de São Vicente, built over a former Franciscan convent. The list covers the region's diverse coastline, from the surf-heavy swells of Praia do Tonel to the sheltered, cliff-backed sands of Praia do Beliche and Praia da Mareta.
