This little chapel sits on some rocks on the beach. One reason enough to visit it! We reached the place by bike from the Luís I Bridge. It was a nice bicycle ride as there are good bike paths along the beach promenade. The chapel is actually simple but the location made it really unique. It is quite peaceful and hearing the waves while there is really calming. The view from the chapel is also nice. You can go around it and stay on the rocks behind the chapel to enjoy the breeze.

I am not rating the "art" but rather rating the experience of seeing this giant rabbit. It's very easy to get to once you are in Gaia. And it's very impressive. It's large and 3D, and super intricate. Whether you spend five minutes or 20 minutes, observing the intricacy of the rabbit, it's a cool stop and makes for great photos.
