Rock formation located a few tens of meters South of the coast of Sesimbra, near Cape Espichel. It rises from the bottom (located about 15mts) to the surface. It's rare that the top of the stone gets completely submerged.
The Arcanzil stone extends westward to a depth of 10-12mts. Having a fairly irregular surface interspersed with crevices and high stones, while the rock and sand bottoms increase in depth to the South and East as we move away from it.
Due to its location, it is better to verify if there are strong currents in the place caused by the tides being that the visibility varies according to the conditions of the sea, being able to vary between 3 to 10mts.
