Top attractions
There are lots of great things to do in Lagos, with many of the attractions focusing on the outstanding beauty of this popular coastal town. But even away from the beaches, there’s lots to discover.
- Some of the biggest highlights of Lagos are the beaches, with alluring blue waters, expansive stretches of sand, and dramatic cliffs. Whether you’re looking to spend a fun day with the family playing on the sand, or you’re after a more exhilarating, adrenaline-pumping watersports experience, you’ll find it here.
- The Ponta de Piedade is one of the top attractions in Lagos, seated in a stunning location on top of the towering, golden sandstone cliffs. For the best views of this lighthouse, take a walk along the headland; this is where you’ll be able to see the naturally carved rock pillars, narrow tunnels, and hidden grottos.
- One of the most fun things to do in Lagos is… nothing! This is one holiday destination where you don’t need to have a day-to-day plan or schedule. Just strolling around the whitewashed buildings of the town, peeking inside the natural caves, and walking through the busy markets is a great way to spend a day.
- Lagos also benefits from being located close to some other amazing destinations in Portugal. The resort of Alvor is a good choice for a day trip, giving you an authentic taste of the Algarve. With its quaint, cobbled streets, low rise buildings, and attractive harbour, Alvor is a quiet, peaceful place to unwind.
Beaches
The Lagos, Portugal beach vistas are simply stunning, and it’s not surprising that the majority of visitors flock here to revel in the soft sands and clear waters.
- Close to the centre of Lagos is the wonderful 4km long stretch of golden sand along Meia Praia. With its award-winning Blue Flag beach, which is ideal for swimmers, the beach is very convenient for the town, and features all the amenities and facilities you need to enjoy a relaxing day out by the sea.
- Although Porto de Mós Beach is a little further from the centre of town, it is classed as one of the top beaches in Lagos. It boasts a wonderful sandy bay which is ideal for sunbathing, and is a truly idyllic beach, great for couples who want to relax and unwind by the peaceful seafront.
- The beach is where you’ll find most of the action during your holiday, with beautiful scenery and weather, mixed with watersports and a vibrant, lively atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for adventure, hop in a kayak and explore life beyond the beaches, and the cliffs with their hidden caves and coves.
