The historic seafaring town of Lagos lies at the heart of the Western Algarve, sheltered by the Ponta da Piedade with its amazing rock formations and hidden caves, enjoyed by boat trip or coastal cliff walk. From here, in the great age of discoveries, Portugal's famous explorers set sail. Although now a lively and bustling town with an award winning marina and many cafes, unique shops, bars and some superb quality restaurants, Lagos retains the gentle atmosphere that is characteristic of Portugal and its people, providing a delightful insight into Portuguese life.

Meia Praia beach is the largest beach in the Lagos region with a 4km stretch of golden sand from Lagos Marina on the western side all the way to the Odiáxere River mouth on the eastern side. Unlike the extensive tourist development found elsewhere in the Algarve, Meia Praia manages to maintain a very low-key atmosphere with lovely beach cafes and restaurants dotted along the edge. The western end is supervised by lifeguards during the summer, and beach loungers and parasols can be hired for the day. The area is a popular centre for water sports including wind surfing, kite surfing and jet skiing - equipment can be rented and lessons provided.
