Portugal The Guardians, Ribeira da Janela

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This spot is great for sunrise pictures but works at sunset as well. Big waves break permanently purely on the round stones and so give great opportunities for dynamic long-exposure pictures.

Photography Tips

Getting there before dawn can be a bit dangerous with big surf as I did when I arrived I made sure that I was safe when the big waves came through. Take care of the green, mossy, and slippery stones. Wind angle lens 16-35mm 1/13 sec at f2.8 focal length 22 ISO 100 2 stop ND filter.
Use an ND filter to get the misty effect if that's your flavor.

Travel Information

It takes about an hour from Funchal in the morning to get there. The streets are in very good condition and with the new tunnel from south to north, the drive is a pleasure. Parking 100 meters from the location.
Spot Type Outdoor
Crowd Factor Just a few people
Best Timing Sunrise

Check for a sunrise with low tide and be careful with wet stones

Maybe this spot should be merged with: https://www.locationscout.net/portugal/2712-ribeira-da-janela-stacks it's essentially the same.
