The westernmost point of mainland Europe is Cape Roca, located in Portugal. This dramatic cliff offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and serves as a popular tourist destination. Cape Roca is recognized for its striking natural beauty and is often referred to as the "end of the world" in historical context, as it marked the edge of the known world for Europeans during the Age of Exploration. The area is marked by a lighthouse and is also a part of the Cascais-Sintra Natural Park, rich in diverse flora and fauna.
