The cliffs of Vale do Lobo beach are almost vertical formations of red ''Pleistocene'' sands (see also Figure 1). This [[shoreline]] stretch is characterised by a set of high cliffs, composed of highly fractured formations with weak cohesion, and a narrow subjacent beach. The base of the cliffs is often hit by breaking waves, especially in winter. The width of the subjacent beach is the main factor on which the evolution of the cliffs depends, as it is the main protection against waves breaking directly on the cliffs.
