Perttu's Cove

Perttu's Cove

Description

Perttu's Cove is a small cove in Lagos, Portugal, surrounded by steep rocky cliffs and featuring a sandy beach with clear blue water. The location is accessible only by boat and characterized by a natural rock arch that frames the landscape.

History

According to local legend, the cove is named after a Viking wizard called Perttu who brought peace to the area long ago. Over time, natural erosion and tidal forces have shaped the cove into its current form.

Practical

The cove is accessible only by boat or kayak, with strong currents that can be hazardous; hiring a local guide or going in a group is advisable. Bring everything you need, including water, sun protection, and food, as there are no facilities on-site.

Did you know?

The natural rock arch is a rare geological feature that creates a striking visual frame visible from within the cove. This formation makes the location particularly popular for photography and distinguishes it from other beaches in the region.
