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.
