The 8 Best Things to Do in Lagos, Portugal
There is rich and beautiful history within Lagos’ 14th century walls, from its fortress to picturesque churches like Medieval São João Hermitage and the 17th-century São Sebastião. But that’s all appetizer. People come here for a main-course coastal buffet featuring more than a half-dozen beautiful beaches. Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you’ve had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.

It's hard work going to and from the beach, but it's very relaxed. There were only about 15-20 people there. None were nude.

You can wander out to this beach from town, staying along the water's edge, along the Beaches and rocks, thru tunnels...Check the tides, but low tide is a hoot! This is the last beach before hitting the road and walking the highlands to the lighthouse.

Wide expanse of sand, gentle waves after several windy rough days. This is a beautiful beach. I am sure it has an entirely different view when it is covered with screaming kids and parents in the peak time.

This is a very interesting and nice beach, easily accessed on foot or by bus or taxi from downtown Lagos. It is a must for your visit to Lagos. There is a cafe, although it is seasonal. This strip of Beaches going out from Lagos are a lot of fun to hike to and from.

Beautiful golden beach in every direction, take a walk and find a shady spot near a cliff for a picnic.
There was a little breeze and the weather with humidity was close to 40 even in a very unusual October.
We picnicked close to a cliff hugging the shade then paddles in the ocean.
