Sea Arch

Waves have eroded this striking sea arch at Ponta Furada, along the rugged southern coast of Faial near the Freguesia (Civil Parish) of Feteira in the Azores. The coastline is primarily composed of basaltic volcanic rock.

 

Notably, 'Ponta Furada' translates to 'Pierced Point,' a fitting name for this naturally sculpted arch."
