Praia da Boneca or Algarseco is a set of fascinating rock formations in the village of Carvoeiro. Erosion and the sea have created natural pools, caves, and openings in the rocks that are authentic natural windows and balconies overlooking the sea. It looks like a lunar landscape and is one of the main natural monuments of the Algarve.
