With a perfect coastline for the enjoyment of nautical sports and activities, Lagos is surrounded by amazing beaches, such as the prize-winning Meia Praia, Dona Ana, Camilo, Porto de Mós and Luz. In order to enjoy a sunset with the fantastic Costa d’Oiro (Golden Coast) as a backdrop, there is nothing better than a walk on the walkways leading to the emblematic Ponta da Piedade.

The sense of taste of the sea and the land are also present in this town, revealed through the local traditional appetizers, based on recipes that go back generations; such is the case of the Dom Rodrigo, a typical pastry from Algarve, which originated in Lagos.
