This is a large natural arch near a small beach called Praia de Albandeira south of Lagoa. It has an estimated span of around 20 metres, and is of a similar height. This used to be a very secluded spot, but now there is a paved road right to the nearby beach, parking, and even a beach bar called 'Pirata'! Visit it before even more building goes on nearby. It is a popular spot for fishermen.
