The beaches are absolutely stunning and at this time of the year are pretty much your own! Our favourite has to be Meia Praia as it is a long endless stretch of fine white sand accessible from its dunes and the Atlantic Ocean will make a great attraction for your little ones and will be of course for you too! It is also an excellent surfing and windsurfing spot when waves and wind are at the rendez-vous…If you would like to explore something else you must go to Sagres and cape St Vicente which is the most south western point of Europe and is absolutely astonishing with spectacular cliffs and views overlooking the Ocean…

Lagos is also a lovely town with character, charm and history with plenty of lovely continental boutiques full of beautiful unique and different pieces, my dream personally! Eating out is great and full of lovely restaurants which are serving local fish and produces and the freshness is pure delight. We personally would recommend “Cashina do Petisco” number 51 Rua da Oliveira 8600-700 Lagos, tel 282 084 285 where the food is excellent, freshly cooked and simple, the chef and owner Luis Rosa and his wife will do anything to please you, they are so accommodating as they were every time making some room for our little one year old daughter when their restaurant is full with a queue outside, they are always warm and so welcoming, definitely a special place to go.
