The ‘Old Town’ has cobbled lanes, delightful Portuguese architecture and many shops to explore. Along with cafés that offer fine coffee, and restaurants that offer fish fresh from the sea. The modern side of the town can be enjoyed in the Lagos Marina, across a footbridge over the Bensafrim river, with a number of restaurants and bars, along many boats to admire.

There are several absolutely beautiful beaches, easily accessible from the centre of town. Meia Praia, the most well known of the beaches, is about 4 km long which, with lovely clean sand, is as delightful to stroll along as it is to relax on.

This beach, with a spectacular cliff-face towering over it, is sheltered from the sea breeze.
