Monumento Natural dos Lagosteiros
Classified as a Natural Monument since 1997, integrated into the Arrábida Natural Park, beneath the cliffs of Cape Espichel. The site consists of trails of bipedal dinosaur footprints, approximately 130 million years old, arranged in different orientations, created at a time when the region's terrain was flat, marshy, and swampy, which later transformed into limestone, preserving the footprint trails.
