You will get a sea perspective from one of the most popular beaches of Lagos. Don't forget to make a photograph! Praia Dona Ana is in the area known as Costa D 'Oiro, name due to the yellow/golden color of the rocks that surround this beach and which is the largest among the several beaches of unique beauty, protected from the wind and calm and clear waters, located between the city port to the Ponta da Piedade lighthouse. The proximity of Lagos makes it popular in the summer. The rocks on the beach provide shade for visitors. The sea is calm and bathers usually swim to the base of the cliffs and sharp rocks that emerge from the water. History: The beach was named after the nun Ana, who lived in the nunnery of Lagos. During World War I, soldiers invaded the convent and murdered all the nuns, with the exception of D. Ana, who had access to a tunnel between the convent and the beach. D. Ana fled through the tunnel and was the only one who survived.
Praia do Camilo is the most beautiful beach in the municipality of Lagos and is accessed through a wooden staircase. The cliff that borders the beach offers a fabulous panoramic view of the coastline between Lagos and Albufeira. This beach is divided by a huge rock formation that you can walk through an excavated tunnel, where you can see a large number of shells embedded in the rock. Take your time and enjoy the sea view of the most beautiful beach of Lagos and perhaps the of the world! Oh, and don't forget to make a photo!
The cliffs of the Ponta da Piedade headland is one of the finest natural features of the Algarve. This dramatic limestone coastline is formed of sea pillars, fragile rock arches and hidden grottos, all of which have been chiselled-out by savage winter storms. The Ponta da Piedade is a bleak and windswept headland, and the beauty of the region is only discovered on descending the cliffs, where the exposed cliffs reveal their golden colour, and the turquoise sea waters lap precariously balanced rock formations. The headland can only be described as stunning. Come along with us and navigate along this wonderful coast and enjoy the beautiful rock formations, the fantastic beaches, the small coves and the sea caves known worldwide for their unique features. Enjoy all these breathtaking views as you cruise along the coast in a modern, comfortable boat with padded seats.

An incredible journey, with a story behind every place. The beauty of the beaches. The ride back to the jetty was brilliant – at full speed. Thank you
Fantastic experience with a most beautiful itinerary. The boat captain is the best you will find in the area. A great professional who knows the area thoroughly (he is one of the few local guides left) and has great handling of the boat. He takes you into the interior of the caves and explains all the details of them to you. A great choice.

Great boat trip with Captain Rui Pedro. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a fabulous perspective of the beautiful cliffs and grotto on the Lagos coast. Small number on boat but able to get inside many of the rock formations. We did it at 17.30, nice way to spend 90 mins.

We joined the Ponta da Piedade Grotto Tour in Lagos and absolutely loved it. The scenery along the coastline was stunning, and sailing into the caves was a magical moment we’ll never forget. Our skipper was fantastic — skilled, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. This tour was a highlight of our trip to the Algarve and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lagos.

What a wonderful morning on the water with our two awesome, experienced guides. We felt so safe and comfortable as we were taken through tiny opens to see the incredible caves and grottos of Lagos. It was a lot of fun, thanks to our guides and we saw the most incredible sights.

Tour was excellent. The boat captain is very attentive, speaks very good German, and explains things wonderfully. Everything was wonderful, I would do it again; viewing the Algarve from the sea side is highly recommended.

This tour was incredible. Our driver spoke so many different languages, was knowledgeable about the area, stopped for us to take pictures, maneuvered the boat into small areas like a pro and we all had a blast. 10/10
