"Half Beach" - Lagos's biggest beach and one of the quietest, largest and longest beaches in the whole of the Algarve. A crescent of powder soft sand stretching for well over 4 kilometres from the Old Town right across to Ria de Alvor.
Never busy - the further east you go the quieter it gets.
Backed by sand dunes and several chilled-out beach bar/restaurants - sunbeds and umbrellas are available - this almost deserted beach is one of our favourites.
In 2023 new boardwalks were constructed stretching almost the entire length of this huge beach, with regular beach bar stops along the way.
Because of the shelter provided by the headland of Ponta da Piedade it's usually a calm beach, with a gentle breeze but no big waves.
