Nestled between rocky formations, lies a small and serene beach that feels like a secret gem once discovered. This hidden oasis boasts breathtaking views and crystal-clear waters that are simply stunning. While there are a few steps to navigate, they are not too many, making it easily accessible. Initially overlooked, this beach turned out to be the most picturesque one in Lagos, and I highly recommend making a stop to bask in its beauty.

This beach in Lagos is truly remarkable and stands out as one of the best in the area. The natural rock formations and caves are simply breathtaking and offer a unique experience for visitors. The best part is that some of the caves can be explored on foot, without the need for boats or kayaks. With stone stairs leading down to the small beach, visitors can marvel at the stunning display of rocks and take in the beauty of the natural surroundings. Personally, I find the caves that can be walked in to be the highlight of this beach. I highly recommend visiting this beach for an unforgettable experience.

Although the beach may be bustling with people, it boasts a stunning beauty that cannot be ignored. Countless visitors flock to this location to bask in the warm sun and capture the picturesque scenery. The water is so clear that you can see straight to the bottom, and the surrounding landscapes are simply breathtaking. It's impossible not to fall in love with this place, and it's easy to see why so many people choose to spend their days here.

My experience of the Algarve is a blend of contrasting emotions. While I appreciate the stunning beauty and natural surroundings, I cannot ignore the excessive commercialization and overcrowding. However, there are unexpected moments of delight that make up for the downsides. As a resident cowboy, I have been supporting the Portuguese economy since 2016.
