At high tide, the stretch of sand shrinks and there&#8217;s less room for sunbathing. The crystal-clear waters invite you to snorkel. We also recommend this activity for admiring the seabed.

It&#8217;s a 3-minute walk from the kayak excursion departures to Ponta de Piedade.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book your family kayak trip to discover the <em>Costa d&#8217;Oiro <\/em>from the sea<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/algarve-l66\/lagos-visite-guidee-en-kayak-t415199\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=portugal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\"> &#8211; see activity details here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Lagos\/Plages\/Praia-dos-Estudantes\/i-k6597gC\/0\/KmztNJvJHQf2gP3Q2FVh85jX6hDZbpgxdwCsnf8fW\/L\/kayak%20praia%20estudantes%20lagos%20algarve-L.jpg\" alt=\"Kayakers crossing the Praia dos Estudantes\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kayakers crossing the Praia dos Estudantes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access and useful information<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10min walk from downtown Lagos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25min drive from Alvor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30min drive from Portim\u00e3o<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 hour drive from <a href=\"https:\/\/portugallovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-faro-attractions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Faro<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public parking at Restaurant Mar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access via concrete staircase or Praia da Batata<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fairly granular sand, presence of rocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No indication of beach surveillance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Public toilets (including PRM) a 5-minute walk from Praia do Cais da Sol\u00e1ria<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not accessible to people with reduced mobility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beach wheelchairs available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bar Batata Beach next door or Restaurant Mar at the top of the cliff<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk of falling rocks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

Let yourself be tempted by our 3 favorite nearby destinations:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Praia da Luz<\/strong>: this former fishing village boasts a quiet, relaxing beach, much appreciated by families with children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Praia de Alvor<\/strong>: this very long stretch of golden sand borders the small seaside resort of the same name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Portim\u00e3o beaches<\/strong>: the magnificent golden cliffs for which the region is famous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Portimao\/Plages\/Praia-dos-Careanos\/i-w6z2cTv\/0\/Mv9Khc6pP4WSvSKDjNxvHRXW6Zk5SSGspR8DK9Txr\/L\/view%20praia%20careanos%20portimao%20algarve-L.jpg\" alt=\"Praia dos Careanos in Portim&#xE3;o\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Praia dos Careanos in Portim\u00e3o<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to swim in Lagos<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water temperature is particularly pleasant from May to the end of September. This period also benefits from increased surveillance by lifeguards, present daily on most beaches to ensure your safety. We particularly recommend the months of June and September for warm water, while avoiding the crowds of July and August. Even in winter, the Algarve&#8217;s mild climate makes for great walks along the beaches, although swimming is reserved for the more adventurous.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Lagos\/Plages\/Praia-Canavial\/i-89VRnRH\/0\/KZwfSTHzkR3tn5xT2CHWqDKRc4XFmmF23xm3K72D9\/L\/sand%20praia%20canavial%20lagos%20algarve-2-L.jpg\" alt=\"Light shows on the beach\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What beaches are not within walking distance of Ponta da Piedade?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of Lagos&#8217; beaches are jealously guarded in their natural beauty, accessible only by sea. This is particularly true of <strong>Praia do Barranco do Martinho<\/strong> and<strong> Praia dos Pinheiros<\/strong>, 2 hidden gems along the cliffs of Ponta da Piedade. We highly recommend discovering them on a boat trip &#8211; a unique opportunity to admire their spectacular rock formations and turquoise waters. These unspoilt coves, sheltered from the crowds, reveal all their splendour when approached from the ocean. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/ponta-da-piedade-l90395\/?partner_id=R3GYW4V&amp;cmp=portugal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">&#8211; see activity details.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Portugal\/Algarve\/Lagos\/Boat-tourkayak\/i-KQsXNHs\/0\/Mw6FxbT63jMPLzzGxD32XTZT9gRbtP7TWrDP47Vc7\/L\/beach%20kayak%20praia%20lagos%20algarve-L.jpg\" alt=\"Photo taken during a kayak trip to Ponta da Piedade\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo taken during a kayak trip to Ponta da Piedade<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Praia do Pinh\u00e3o closed to the public?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For safety reasons, the <strong>Praia do Pinh\u00e3o <\/strong>is currently inaccessible to visitors, as the wooden staircase providing access has been completely condemned.
