Beaches

The beaches around Lagos are amongst the most beautiful in the Algarve. Meia Praia is the nearest beach to the apartment and can be reached on foot in about 5 minutes. This beautiful beach forms part of one of the largest bays in Europe and its seemingly endless white sands stretch out for 4 km. There is a windsurf centre on the beach and at the Marina visitors can book many other activities, including diving, water skiing, big game fishing and boat trips around the spectacular coastline. Dotted along the beach you will find plenty of good restaurants and beach bars for drinks, lunch or dinner. In addition to Meia Praia there are numerous other beaches within a 5-10 minute drive of the marina. Dona Ana, Porto de Mos, Camillo, Luz, Salema and Burgau are favourites, they are all family friendly with good facilities. A little further afield one can visit the west coast with its wild and beautiful beaches. The enormous waves on these beaches make them very popular with surfers.

Day trips

A new course, Boavista is a welcome addition to Algarve golf and the discerning visitor, as its combination of design, location and the sheer variety of holes make playing Boavista a wonderful experience for all. Boavista also has the benefit of a driving range and excellent teaching academy. A mere 10 minutes from the Marina is the Penina course, this is the master work of legendary golfer Henry Cotton and the first golf course to grace the Algarve. This Championship course, five times host to the Portuguese open, is an 18 hole par 73 requiring length and accuracy to score low. A 15 minute drive along the N125 towards Sagres will bring you to the superb Parque de Floresta golf resort. The course is an 18 hole par 72 laid out through valleys and inland hills, which in spring are blanketed in flowers.
