Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Points (GSSP) Peniche
Rugged Atlantic cliffs at Ponta do Trovão mark the GSSP Peniche — a geologist’s reference point where layered sedimentary beds and wave-sculpted rock provide dramatic foregrounds against open sea. Photograph stratified textures, basalt beds, tidal pools and crashing surf at golden hour or blue hour. Best visited at low tide for exposed rock and fossils; sunrise and sunset offer warm side-lighting and long shadows. Access via a short coastal path from nearby parking; sturdy shoes required, no fee
