Ponta da Piedade in Lagos

A Lagos beach page just wouldn't be complete without mentioning the stunning cliffs at Ponta da Piedade and, in fact, there is a very tiny beach just to the left of the lighthouse! From the point there are views all the way to Sagres in the west and to the east, the Algarve coastline stretches into the distance with views across the bay to Alvor, Portimão, Carvoeiro and beyond with the Monchique hills as a backdrop. The flora on the cliffs changes throughout the year with wild flowers of all colours opening from December onwards, tall giant fennels, huge "flowers" on the Agave plants and figs for the picking. People gather on the cliffs to watch the sun set behind Sagres - it really is a sight not to miss and all this before exploring the amazing caves underneath the cliffs on one of the many boat trips.
To get to the Ponta da Piedade in Lagos just follow the road past Dona Ana beach and Camilo beach right to the end - there is a car park, restaurant and two touristy shops.

Porto de Mós beach in Lagos - 'Praia do Porto de Mós'

Porto de Mós beach in Lagos ('Praia do Porto de Mós') is a beautiful sandy bay backed with tall multi-coloured cliffs at either side. There are two beach restaurants with the usual stunning views and a large car park right behind the beach.
Porto de Mós beach is 3.5kms from Lagos town centre. To get there follow the Avenida dos Descobrimentos past the fort and up the hill past the fire station. Turn left at the 'ball' roundabout, straight across the 'tulip' roundabout, straight across the next roundabout, down the rather steep hill to the beach. If you are feeling energetic and want a great view..walk up to the top of the cliffs on the western side of the beach...you can even walk all the way to Praia da Luz! Just to the left of Porto de Mós is the small beach of Canavial.
