If flying conditions are not favorable, the nearby fort at Sagres is a great alternative visit. Groundhandling can be practiced on the beach. The top take-off point is accessible by vehicle, but if the wind is too strong, you can take off from the beach. For more detailed information, you can visit [SkyXplorer](https://www.skyxplorer.com/zonas-de-voo/). Praia da Cordoama, located a few kilometers from Sagres, features high cliffs that provide excellent lift. To reach this spot, head to Vila do Bispo, pass through the village, and continue towards the cliffs. Flights here are generally calm, but caution is advised as many accidents occur due to overconfidence. Pay attention to the take-off, terrain contours, and wind conditions, which tend to increase in the afternoon. Avoid flying close to the terrain, especially near the summit. Top landing is delicate, so it's safer to land on the beach. The retrieval can be long, so ensure you have someone to pick you up. For more information, you can also check out [this video](https://www.myvideo.de/watch/1893008). Take-off directions are primarily West (W) and Northwest (NW). The site is suitable for paragliders of levels 1 and 2, with access by car or on foot. The altitude is 92 meters, with a maximum altitude difference of 73 meters for this location.
