The point at the western end of the Peniche peninsular is Cabo Carvoeiro which is a few hundred metres away from a lighthouse. The whole peninsular - at least west of the town walls - has interesting rocks. There were some very interesting small formations near here.
The rocks reminded me of something from the US south west, e.g. the sort of formation that you see east of Las Vegas or in Southern Utah. However they are a mere metre high. I wonder how they got this shape given that they are at the top of a small cliff. They were interesting to walk through though sadly littered - including human excrement!
About 50 metres offshore was this splendid stack; Nau dos Corvos. Sometimes the waves shot up to the full height. This suggests that some waves might spray over the top of the cliff too. In the left distance you can just see Berlenga island.
