Coast/Beach:
The beaches around Lagos are some of the most beautiful of the Algarve. The 4km Meia Praia beach is 10 minutes walk as are the town beaches. It has good sporting facilities and restaurants and is ideal for children due to the calm waters. Praia de Dona Ana, which can be reached after a 25 minutes walk from the centre of the town, is said to be the most photographed beach in the Algarve. There are too many others to mention but almost all are cliff lined with golden sand.
Golf:
The apartment is ideal for golf - you can leave your hire-car and clubs in the secure, private garage beneath the apartments. There are plenty of famous golf courses within just a 20 min drive. The Algarve is famous for its fantastic golf courses and weather. For course information please google: Boavista, Parque de Floresta, Penina, Palmares, Pestana Silves, Pestana Vale de Pinta and Pestana Gramacho - to name just a few.
