There's a bar at the cluster of buildings near the lighthouse, as well as the small Capela de Boa Nova perched on the rocks above the surf. Architecture enthusiasts will recognize the Casa de Cha da Boa Nova, a tea house designed by Alvaro Siza Vieira in the 1960s and now a two-Michelin-star restaurant -- one of his earliest completed works, built into the granite coastline with the Atlantic crashing beneath it.

The Camino:

Passing the lighthouse, keep your gaze to the left, where you can enjoy a sea view far superior to the oil refinery to your right. Between here and the Obelisk you will follow off and on a walkway, passing several food options.
