St.Mary's Island
St. Mary’s Island is a sandbar off Malpe where the sea reveals a dramatic coastline, quick reflections, and low-tide textures around the Portuguese-era church ruins. Best light is sunrise to early morning (cool haze, softer contrast); midday can be harsh and crowded. Reach via short boat ride from Malpe; check tides—some paths are only visible briefly. Casual dress, modesty near the church; entry is generally free but follow local rules at the shrine.
