Farol Sul

The routes stretching just south of the Cabo da Roca viewpoint to Baía de Assentiz are part of this unique climbing area. In the stunning cove of Malhada do Louriçal—strewn with giant cobblestones—you can enjoy breathtaking views of Pedra Pombeira and Pedra da Azoia. These small “islands,” with their tall arches rising just meters from the shoreline, are among the secret treasures Cabo da Roca hides in plain sight. On the massive granite pillar that rises from the deep sea, separating Malhada do Louriçal from Baía de Assentiz (with its deserted crescent-shaped sandy beach), you’ll find excellent routes on Placa do Sol and Pilar do Golfinho. For bouldering enthusiasts, the chaotic scatter of blocks north of Pedra da Azoia offers some truly exceptional problems.
