9125 Caniço, Portugal
Great beach. Lovely warm ocean. And restaurant is nice as well and good waiting staff.
Wonderful views especially at sunset. If you're a nervous driver take the gondola down to the great bay below as the road down is single track with very rare passing places and, if you meet a large vehicle!!! Excellent beach restaurant, diving and paddle boarding venue
Easy access to the statue but don't let yourself fooled by google maps as u will be taken to a road all the way down to sea level. Other than that, great place with wonderful views
Excellent view. If you go down close to the beach there is a bar and after this bar there is a cable car which you can use for one way to go up to the Cristo Rei Pointview or to go up and come down again. Up and down cost about 6€ (one person). There is nobody down there so you just need to enter in the cable car and you can pay your tickets when you are up there.
Nice viewpoint with free parking. Just don't follow google maps navigation as it leads you to diving center which is 300m below this statue and you will have a hard time to turn back.
