Beaches

  • Meia Praia (Half beach) - With soft and white sand, is one of the biggest bays in Europe and has a calm sea due to its width. Owing to its lack of rocks it is ideal for nautical sports. When the wind is strong, there are many sheltered sand beaches between the cliffs.
  • Praia Solaria (Sunny beach).
  • Praia da Batata (Potato beach).
  • Praia dos Estudantes (Students' beach).
  • Dona Ana - Probably the beach most frequented by tourists, and for good reason. The sand on Dona Ana is slightly thicker than the beaches in the surrounding area, and the beach itself is bounded by lovely rock formations. Many different shapes come alive when you look at the rock formation, a birthday cake, the titanic, and the sphynx's to name a few. Dona Ana is essentially split into two beaches with a protruding cliff separating the two sides at high tide. The best place to stay to see this place is Iberlagos apartments, they have wonderful views of the ocean and the rest of Lagos
  • Canavial
  • Camilo
  • Praia da Luz (Light beach) - A beach in the popular nearby Tourist town of Luz, the beach has watersports facilities and is bounded on its Eastern side by the so-called 'Rocha Negra'.
