Praia da Luz is the World famous beach resort that has managed to maintain it's friendly fishing village feel since tourism began here in the 60s. It is a small town with the beautiful sandy beach and promenade as its focal point. Despite being small it has a great selection of restaurants, cafes, bars and shops - there's even a night club ! 8km away is the medieval city of Lagos which still has its city walls and cobblestone pedestrianised centre. As well as a beach and cultural destination, Praia da Luz is also great as a base for a sporty holiday. Some of the best golf courses in Europe are less than 20km away. Surfing, fishing, scuba diving, sailing and pretty much all water sports can be enjoyed here as well as cycling, horse riding and rambling. The most westerly point of Europe is just 40km away and here you can visit museums dedicated to the early explorers who set out from Portugal to discover the World. The massive Costa Vincentina national park is just down the road.
