Description

Large limestone blocks to boulder on with some excellent lines - the boulders are featured in "Portugal Sport Onsight - Bouldering" by David & Carrie Atchison-Jones starting on page 128. There are also some sport routes on the cliff. Be aware that there is some hazard of loose rock on this face.

Getting There

Walk down some stairs, be ready for a scramble at the bottom down to the water. Continue left along the shore for about 5 minutes to reach the sport climbing, you will pass through some great boulders on the way over. At high tide and just after, you will need to rockhop and time your crossings between the waves on the approach. Water level goes down quickly after high tide so the boulder area stays mostly dry with some tide pools. All the sport routes up on the cliff are elevated and stay dry at the bottom.
