The village of Praia ad Luz, just 6 km from Lagos, nestles in its own bay. It is a gently shelving beach with soft golden sands. The remnants of volcanic activity from long ago can be seen at the far end of the beach, known as the Rocha Negra or the 'Black Rock'. Behind the beach are some very impressive multicoloured sandstone cliffs. The narrow winding streets and houses are covered in beautiful flowers. There are several local restaurants and little beach side bars where you can sit and watch the world go by.
