All of them stand out with soft white gold sand where sunbathing becomes a totally new quality. In Lagos and the surrounding area there is a wonderful choice of beaches. At the Western end of the Algarve you can experience the vast expanse of Meia Praia to delightful little coves. All have the same soft white gold sand. The nearest beaches to Cascade are Canavial and Porto do Mós.
