Praia dos Estudantes<\/strong> is a charming little cove framed by golden cliffs and adjoining Praia da Batata<\/strong>. Located close to Lagos<\/strong> city center, it is dominated by the Bridge of the Old Fort of Pinh\u00e3o. We were seduced by its unique setting, which gives it a special charm, between history and nature.<\/p>\n\n

In this article, you’ll find our photos and tips <\/strong>on how to make the most of your time on the water!<\/p>\n\n

This opinion is completely independent<\/strong>, based on our experiences. We visited the region anonymously, making our own choices and paying our bills in full.<\/p>\n\n

Is the Praia dos Estudantes worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, we think this beach is well worth a visit. It’s one of our favourites in Lagos! Topped by an ancient Roman bridge linking 2 rock formations, this is one of the region’s most photographed beaches. We loved its unspoilt natural setting, with its impressive cliffs offering natural shelter from the wind. It’s a 3-minute walk from the kayak tour departures.<\/p>\n\n

Type of beach<\/h2>\n\n

Sand or no sand?<\/h3>\n\n

The Praia dos Estudantes is covered with fairly granular blond sand. Watch your feet, as a few rocks emerge from the sand, adding character to the landscape.<\/p>\n\n

Swimming conditions and supervision<\/h3>\n\n

Swimming conditions are good, thanks to a particularly calm sea held between 2 cliffs. We’ve found that swimming is more enjoyable at high tide, when the beach offers a nice stretch of sand. At low tide, large rocks are exposed. We didn’t see any lifeguards or beach lifeguard signs.<\/p>\n\n

For safety reasons, we recommend that you do not approach the cliffs too closely, as there is a risk of falling rocks.<\/p>\n\n

Installations<\/h3>\n\n

We didn’t see any showers on site. On the other hand, you’ll find public toilets, some adapted for the disabled, at the Praia do Cais da Sol\u00e1ria, 5 minutes away. Umbrella and deckchair hire does not seem to be available on this beach.<\/p>\n\n
