Algar Seco is a dramatic Algarve cliff and sea-cave complex with natural arches, stacked limestone pillars, tidal pools and a wooden boardwalk — ideal for intimate coastal compositions, abstract rock textures and long-exposure seascapes. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on the cliffs, and at low tide to reach lower grottoes and foreground pools. Easily reached from Carvoeiro (short walk from town); expect stairs and slippery rocks — wear sturdy shoes. Weekdays and shoulder‑seas
