Located on the Ponta da Piedade<\/strong> side of Lagos<\/strong>, Praia do Canavial<\/strong> totally charmed us with its high golden cliffs and turquoise waters. We fell in love with this unspoilt stretch of sand, which is nevertheless difficult to access.<\/p>\n\n

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

Is the Praia do Canavial worth it?<\/h2>\n\n

Yes, this beach is well worth a visit, even though it’s relatively difficult to get to. We were seduced by its unique setting, with high orange cliffs contrasting with the blue of the ocean. It’s a haven for travelers seeking authenticity and privacy. Part of the beach is frequented by naturists.<\/p>\n\n

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

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

The soil at Praia do Canavial is soft, golden sand. We also noticed a few rocks dotting the beach, adding to the wild charm of the place.<\/p>\n\n

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

The turquoise waters of Praia do Canavial invite you to take a dip, but we advise you to exercise extreme caution. The beach is unsupervised and the waves can be rough. In addition, the presence of rocks along the shoreline requires special care to avoid injury.<\/p>\n\n

To be on the safe side, don’t get too close to the cliffs because of the risk of falling rocks too!<\/p>\n\n

Installations<\/h3>\n\n

The beach has no facilities. There are no showers or toilets, and no deckchairs or parasols for hire. This lack of facilities helps preserve the wild, natural aspect of the area. We did, however, come across kayakers from the nearby Praia do Porto de M\u00f3s.<\/p>\n\n
