Attractions

Beaches

There are many beaches in and around Lagos, each with their own individual character.

Meia Praia – Meia Praia is a long, sandy beach which is very popular with visitors to the area and which has been awarded a Blue Flag.  The length of the beach (around 4.5 kms) means that it never gets too crowded.  There are plenty of cafes and restaurants along the beach, and there are also ample parking facilities. 

Praia Dona Ana – This unusual beach has amazing rock formations all along it, and is effectively separated down the middle by a large cliff.  This beach can get crowded during the peak season. 

Praia da Luz – Located a short distance along the coast from Lagos, Praia da Luz is a popular beach resort boasting a sandy beach and excellent facilities. The beach is backed by large cliffs at one end, offering it some shelter from the elements.  A splendid promenade backs the beach and offers a large choice of shops, cafes and restaurants.

Other beaches include Praia Solaria and Praia da Batata. 

Aqualand

Aqualand is a large water park situated between Lagos and Albufeira.  Open throughout the summer months, attractions at the park include the Corkscrew, the Banzai Boggan and the Kamikaze rides.  For those looking for something slightly more sedate, there is a large swimming pool, a surf beach and a children’s park area, as well as numerous other slides and rides. 

Lagos Old Town

The Old Town of Lagos is well worth exploring while visiting the area.  Interesting sights include the Slave Market (now an Art Gallery) and the Castle.  The town is very hilly so wear comfortable shoes if planning a long walk around.  

How to get there

As with most other resorts on the Algarve, the closest airport to the resort is the international airport at Faro.  There are numerous airlines offering scheduled flights to Faro, including British Airways and TAP Portugal.  Monarch Airlines offer flights from airports including Manchester, London Luton and Birmingham International, while bmibaby fly from Cardiff, amongst other airports.  Other airlines flying to Faro include Ryanair and Easyjet.
