Highlights
  • Praia Dona Ana - 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.

Breathtaking boat trip along and in Ponta da Piedade - We had booked the boat trip in advance in the Netherlands. With the vouchers in our pocket we were picked up by Rui Pedro of Lagos Boat Tours at the appointed time. He and his assistant were particularly friendly and have given clear explanations in two languages (for our English) about what we were shown. It was breathtakingly beautiful! Pedro took us into the small waterways of the caves. Every opportunity to take beautiful pictures and enjoy the beautiful colors and rock formations. He took all the time to show us everything. Definitely recommended!.

Wonderful experience - A highly recommended experience, both by the Guide and Captain of the boat Rui Pedro, and by the place, Ponta da Piedade. The boat ride is very pleasant and getting into each of the caves is a landscape show. Rui Pedro accompanies the trip by telling us the history of Lagos and recommendations on places to visit. It is essential to devote a morning to this experience during your stay in Lagos.

Fun boat tour - Such a fun experience to explore the caves along the coast. The tide was coming in so there were a lot of waves but Captain Rui navigated beautifully! A must-do in Lagos.
