Praia do Camilo

Praia do Camilo is one of the most stunning beaches in Lagos, in Portugal's Algarve region, known for its golden sands, clear turquoise waters and spectacular rock formations. To reach this hidden cove, visitors need to walk down a winding wooden staircase that offers panoramic views of the stunning coastline. The beach is surrounded by towering orange-red limestone cliffs, which form a natural barrier and keep the waters calm and clear, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. At high tide, the beach area is reduced, but a hand-dug tunnel still allows visitors to access the other side of the beach area to explore more hidden corners. Beach facilities are limited, with only one restaurant, O Camilo, located on the cliff, serving fresh seafood cuisine and spectacular sea views. In addition, there is a wooden boardwalk near the beach that leads to Ponta da Piedade, along the way, you can see the spectacular rock arches and sea caves, which is a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Whether you are looking for a quiet winter stroll or a sunbathing in the summer, this is the ideal place to explore the natural beauty of the Algarve.
