Top 50 things to do and attractions in Lagos

Great for walking and running! The trail is in excellent condition and easy for anyone to enjoy. From sunrise to sunset, it’s a peaceful place with beautiful views - just keep in mind that in summer it can get quite hot, as there’s not much shade along the way.

This place was beyond amazing. The views of the rock formations are mesmerizing. I did not want to leave. We arrived on the first day at 6:30 pm to see the sunset. It was cloudy but we stayed a while and the sky turned beautiful hues of pink. We returned the next day to get a better view of the rock formations. There's a lot of boardwalks to explore the areas. On the left side, there is a staircase that will take all the way down to the water and you have an option to pay for a boat ride; which last about 30-40 minutes that will take you through the grotto. I did not utilize this service due to lack of time, but I highly recommend it. Behind the small lighthouse you will find a small Cafe offering light snacks, with tables and chairs. Large parking lot available a short walk away with plenty of parking. The earlier you go the better to avoid large crowds.

One of the best trips and moments of 2025! It was a perfect spring day (March) —no clouds, no wind, just a refreshing cool breath out on the ocean. The views of the rock formations were stunningly beautiful: arches appearing one after another, the sea shifting from deep blue to light turquoise and emerald green depending on where you were. Sunlight reflected off the cliffs, changing their colors from yellow to orange to rich brown. Our guide navigated skillfully and pointed out the names of unique formations—camels, elephants, even “the Kissing Couple” arch where we were suggested to kiss each other going throgh it. Thinking of the history, it’s humbling to realize how many thousands of years it took to shape such landscapes. We used the Days of Adventure for an tour operator. The boat trip cost €20 per person for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and it was worth every cent. It’s a completely different perspective compared to the hiking trail above, which is free and also offers spectacular views. But being out on the water, surrounded by cliffs and arches, made this experience unforgettable. The natural beauty is beyond words: stunning, breathtaking, amazing.

Absolutely incredible. Worth the visit and the long walk down the stairs. We saw Dolphins playing down in the water and every angle and view point felt like it was worth it. Such an amazing place.

Most wonderful trail you’ll find in a v long time! Easy access and lots of wooden platforms available for those who do not feel like walking into the rocks. Saying the view was gorgeous is simply an understatement. You need to visit if you’re close. A must for everyone lucky enough to get to Lagos.

This place was extraordinary, captivating and better than imagined. If you are within 100 miles of this place, can walk a mile, go up and down stairs, make it happen is all that I can say. A highlight of my trip:)

Lovely beach to take pictures and maybe go for swim but there’s not a lot of place to swim. There little to no tide, making it very calm. There’s a short cave entrance that can take you the beach next door. There’s also another cave that you can enter. The smell of seaweed can be quite strong but it gets better

After reading blogs about best beaches to visit in the area this one kept going up. And they were right. Despite the 247 stairs, the beach was the perfect spot. There are two sides to it and both are great. Even though there are a lot of stairs to make your way up to the top you will want to stay on the beautiful beach so don’t get discouraged.

Superbly nestled between jagged cliffs, this beach has a small shoreline reached by a staircase of about 200 steps, from which you can admire a dazzling landscape as you descend... Nearby, and accessible by the same road, is Ponta da Piedade, an impressive rock formation with jagged shapes and caves carved out by the sea. It's one of the region's landmarks, and can be admired in its entirety during a boat trip, exploring the interiors of the caves and the small, deserted beaches nestled in the rocks !

Lovely, interesting beach with lots of stairs, so be prepared. But it is worth it. Very unique and kind of hidden beach with lovely water and its own tunnel to go through to get to the other side of the beach. There is a little bar/cafe at the bottom.

We had high expectations after reading that this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Lagos. We arrived early, around 6 AM, hoping to catch the sunrise here. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match the hype, the beach was covered in seaweed and had a strong, unpleasant smell, with very little clean space to walk around. In the end, we decided to head to the neighboring beach instead.

There are steps involved, the beach is not too big, and there are people. So why 5 stars, because it's a cools beach

One of the most beautiful and iconic beaches in the Algarve, and a must-visit if you’re staying in or near Lagos. Tucked between dramatic golden cliffs and accessible by a long wooden staircase, the beach offers stunning views from above and a peaceful, sheltered cove below. The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming or light snorkeling when conditions are calm. The rock formations and small caves add a sense of adventure, especially if you explore around low tide. The sand is soft and clean, though space is limited, so arriving early is a good idea—especially in peak season when it fills up quickly. There are no sun loungers or rental services on the beach itself, so bring your own towels or umbrellas if you plan to stay a while. There’s a small café at the top of the cliffs near the stairs, offering snacks, drinks, and a great vantage point. Praia do Camilo combines natural beauty, great swimming conditions, and a bit of effort to reach, which helps keep it feeling special. If you’re up for the stairs and want a postcard-worthy beach experience, it’s absolutely worth the trip.

Our favorite beach during our stay in Lagos. We went for sunrise, during the day, and had a sunset picnic. It's busy but never overwhelmingly crowded. There can be seaweed but not too bad!

Another paradise sheltered between cliffs, its shore bathed by a sea of ​​clear and tranquil waters, is one of the most popular images of the Algarve. The jagged rocks that emerge from the sea or are scattered across the beach offer shade to holidaymakers and add a picturesque touch to the landscape.

Nice, if you come early enough (around 9am) there are lots of parking places available. Place is beautiful, expect lots of people! There is a bar on the beach, water is reasonably good (some seaweeds on one side) and fairly protected from the strong winds common in the area.

One of Portugal and Europe as a whole's most beautiful beaches. Unbelievable sunrises, gorgeous water and huge cliffs with relaxed waves. I didn't know the Atlantic ocean could be this beautiful. A must visit!

Contrary to our expectations, the temperature of the ocean water was perfect for swimming and bathing, and we could stay in the water for a long time. The only problem was the thick algae, which in some sections covered the shore with the tide. The algae that was brought to the shore is regularly collected, but this happened on the day we had to travel home. However, the stunning surroundings made us forget this negative. There is a pleasant, cozy beach bar on the beach area, where you can also have a varied meal.

Not so big for Portugal, which is great for me, only one shop for drinks etc. Great beach for relaxing and the water a bit less cold than other beaches around. A bit crowded but no problem at all.

It is a very crowder beach (in the summer) but its a long beach so it was okay. Its a cute bay with a large swimming space! Good for children beach there are no big waves. Nice clear water.

Marina de Lagos – A Fantastic Place to Stay Marina de Lagos is a great spot, whether you’re sailing through or just looking for a nice place to stay by the water. The marina is well-organized, clean, and has everything you need—good facilities, helpful staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. The docks are well-kept, and there’s a real sense of security, which is important if you’re leaving your boat for a while. One of the best things about this marina is its location. It’s just a short walk into the old town of Lagos, where you’ll find plenty of great restaurants, bars, and shops. The marina itself has a nice selection of cafés and restaurants, perfect for sitting back with a drink and watching the boats come and go. It’s also a great base for exploring the Algarve coast. You can easily book boat tours, go dolphin-watching, or even try some water sports. The whole place has a laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Overall, Marina de Lagos is a fantastic spot—well-run, friendly, and in a great location. Whether you're a sailor or just visiting, it's a place you’ll want to return to.

A lovely marina with lovely views, loads of boat tours, kayak tours available. We used local company and the boat tours was fabulous! COSTA D'OIRO boat tour’s highly recommended!

Loved it! Clean Marina, very nice people in the shops, restaurants and tourist information stands for renting a boat or organising boat trips

Plenty of restaurants and bars to stop and relax for a meal or just a drink. Nice scenery too.

I love this place. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The view is quite special. I always come here.

Yummy fish 🐟 and chips...Excellent service. Great music & views

Great area to have for having a pleasant walk.

When we arrived, it was a bit windy and cloudy, but that actually made it perfect for a long walk along the beach. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ The beach itself is huge, with plenty of space for everyone. Both the walking trail and the beach were very clean, we didn’t spot any litter or excessive seaweed. A really pleasant spot to relax and enjoy nature. 🏵

A great sandy beach, 4 km long. There are a few beach bars where you can get food and drinks, as well as sunbeds, which cost €15 for two. Near the canal, there's a small boat (Vai Vem) that takes you to the beach for €1 per person in less than a minute. It's a great option if you don't want to walk for 30 minutes.

One of my favorite beaches in Lagos! I’m too afraid of being at the bottom of the cliffs on the small beaches like Dona Anna and recommend this location for safety and great walking opportunities as it’s really long.

Kilometers of sandy beach goodness! For a city beach, you just can not top this, by foot from the Lagos center or by car, in a few minutes you are on a beautifu windyl beach! There are lifeguards everywhere, every 200m there is a bar with deck chairs and parasols (15eur for two usually), there are places just to put your towel down and enjoy your time on the Arlantic coast! Beach was clean and well maintained, but unfortunately, we did not see any showers.

Really windy!!! Beautiful beach but not a place to relax. We lost 2 umbrellas 🤣

This is a nice beach, having in mind that you have some of the most amazing beaches in the world nearby!

Absolutely beautiful and empty beach ☺️

This beach was nearest to where I was staying. Almost had the beach to myself. Then again it is the end of the season. Surprised to see the public toilets closed on the 2/11/2024 as all Saints day was the day before. Probably not opened then as it was a rainy day. This beach would be my third favourite in Lagos.

Lovely beach, really nice and cozy, but also way too busy when we were there. Unless you want to lay about 10cm apart from your beach neighbours and have people step over you constantly, just enjoy the view and move on ;)

It’s one of the ‘tunnel’ beaches so you can walk between 4 beaches through tunnels carved in the rock. Each beach felt quite different - one for ‘lads’ one for Portuguese. The steps from the lower cafe are fine but the upper boardwalk and view point is shut to come down. Theres a lot of weed at the moment (early July) so not as good as other beaches

Beautiful & Wonderful Beach. I Go here every week (My Favourite Beach in Lagos)

Nice beach near Lagos, but in the evening the wind blows the sand around and it’s really annoying!

I visited on Monday and Tuesday in January, 2025. It's the cleanest public beach I have ever been on. Zero trash! Well done, Lagos!!

Praia da Batata is a beautiful beach with clear water, lots of space, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Everything was clean and well maintained, making it perfect for a calm and enjoyable beach day. The only downside is that parking is very limited, so finding a spot can be tricky. But once you have one, everything else is just right for a great time by the sea!

Is the main entrance of an iconic city just let your self lost in the amazing stone streets full of bars and restaurants

Very cool fort on the sea with beautiful architecture and views. Free entry

Lovely fortress, good condition considering it's age. Entry was free and the gentleman at the gate was very friendly

Brilliant piece of history. It's lovely to be able to walk around this site. It has a great view with a unique perspective into the historical nature and art of war.

Actually I didn't go inside of the castle, but it's really beautiful outside. There is good beach beside, slavery market and kayak spot there.

Quite small, old fortress in good shape. Free entrance.

Very small fort that takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk thru and admire the views.

Overall a quick stop - you can do everything in 30 minutes. The only thing that made this place 5/5 was a worker Miguel. He had interesting stories and actually was interested in the topic himself, which made the visit much more memorable.

Careful — although the posted hours say they’re open until 1pm, if you arrive around 12:15pm you won’t be allowed in because it’s considered “too late.” I explained that I had driven an hour to get there and asked politely for a quick viewing, but they still refused. Very disappointing and not reflective of good customer service.

Historic place that's oozing with history, but the displays are disappointing with dark cabinets and captions hard to read. Interesting historically but could be so much better.

The only Lagos Slavery waste site Discovery in 2009-2025 President of Lagos at the time Júlio José Monteiro Barroso. The slave cemetery was discovered in the Vale da Gafaria, next to the city walls of Lagos. Active between the 15th and 16th centuries, this site functioned as both an urban dumping ground and a burial place for African slaves who arrived in the city. As they were not baptized, these individuals could not be buried in the traditional cemeteries of the time. Context and Archaeological Findings Excavations carried out at the site revealed the remains of more than 158 people, many of them buried in mass graves. Some skeletons were found with their hands tied behind their backs, revealing the inhumane conditions they endured. The site was partially destroyed during the construction of parking and mini-golf course, but the human remains were recovered for scientific study. Memory and Preservation The discovery is now recognized as the oldest known slave cemetery in Europe, representing a silent yet powerful testimony to slavery on Portuguese soil. Its historical significance led to the creation of the Slave Route Museum (Núcleo Museológico da Rota do Escravo), located in the former Slave Market building in Lagos, with the purpose of preserving and sharing the memory of this past.

Words fail me qhen I think of what happened on these grounds. So very glad to have been able to see this in person.

Honestly shocking how they can even call this a museum about the slave trade. Virtually no information on the actual atrocities that the slaves encountered, nothing about the vast numbers of slaves or how they were treated. No pictures or names or personal stories of any slaves. No information on the perpetrators. Just a few maps of where the slave trade took place. Absolutely zero accountability. Honestly left the museum feeling angry. Would not recommend paying and giving money to this place.

I hope a lot of people go there because this history is important. However, I really hope the museum will invite more critical curators and improve on their exhibition. The word racism was not used in any context. It is important, in my opinion, to also teach that these legacies continue to shape socities today, albeit in different ways. Wealth is still distributed unequally and Black people in Europe and other parts of the world still face racism daily. Also, I disliked how in the English translation passive verb tenses were used. E.g. "the slaves were made to work in households and on fields" --> "Portuguese people forced African people to work in households and fields in enslaved conditions." Call out the enslavers! Also, I really dislike that so often the talk is about "slaves" --> "enslaved people" is more respectful highlighting that this is not about just any other "good" but that this is about diverse people (with dreams, cultural identities, beliefs, family) who were forcefully and violently reduced to this status and condition. Although this has more to do with US history, I recommend reading Zora Neale Hurston's "Barracoon: The story of the last 'Black cargo'". IN 1927, she interviewed Oluale Kossola who got enslaved and shipped to the US. This is what I was missing from this exhibition: The point of views of the people enslaved. And also, as someone else said, a memorial is missing. Nothing outside of the museum encourages you to stop and reflect on how many families got separated here, and what hardship people endured. Conclusio: Glad this place exists bc this is the only reminder of the trade with enslaved people. But the exhibition could be so so so much better!

Beautiful church. We got married here at the end of August so it will always hold a very special place for us. Lovely detailed church inside with beautiful art work. Outside has recently been restored and it looked just perfect. Lovely square right outside also.

There are two profound visual and sensory experiences that I will always associate with my visit to St Mary's, Lagos. Firstly its façade - though plain - made glorious by the vibrant, violet blossom of the jacaranda trees that frame the approach to the church. Secondly, within its darkened interior, the extraordinary impact of a crucifix, illuminated within an alcove above the high altar. Painted behind this life-sized representation of Our Crucified Lord is a group of winged angels, basking within beams of pink, purple and orange light that cascade around the curvature of the recess. It is an optical experience that one of my travelling companions described as "trippy"! On Saturday 23 September 2023, I was privileged to attend the vigil mass here, which was a wonderful experience. Worship music was led by a young male organist, accompanied by a choir of about six ladies, soprano and alto. A young lady with a beautiful voice acted as cantor, and the mass was celebrated by the parish priest, Fr Nelson Rodrigues, who, judging by the smiling faces seen all around the church during the course of his animated address, is clearly well beloved of his flock!

Lovely church, nice architecture and beautiful artwork inside

It's a small church you'll find on your way truth Lagos. Inside of the church looks almost like every church, except for the small chapel made from paper. (We visited the church in February so I don't know if it's still there). So inside you'll find a tribute to jesus and you'll get the opportunity to pray.

Beautiful Church in the heart of Lagos that holds daily Masses and opens the Church to the public for the rest of the day. Sunday Mass is at 11:30am and 6pm, will definitely be attending here.

typical old local church, not really a grandeur, but gives u a feeling of serenity, solitude and simplicity. On the square just outside the church is usually something going on, like live music and some dancing when we passed by one night.

Nice church near the castle. Wish we could see the Christmas market as well. It is just being setup.

We visited two weeks ago with our children and had a wonderful time. There were plenty of interactive and educational activities and games. We also joined a "slime-making" workshop, which the kids absolutely loved! The staff were very friendly and took the time to show us around and explain everything. A fantastic experience overall!

Great little science museum, well maintained and knowledgeable staff. It will keep your little ones busy for a while.

Although this little science museum has some interesting displays, it's definitely aimed more towards children. Thankfully it wasn't expensive. The staff were very nice, both helpful and polite, with good language skills for us foreigners. There are toilets within the building and a chic cafe right next door.

It's perfect for children between the ages of 8 and 14. Clean and easy to navigate around the museum. There was staff who explained how certain instruments worked and spoke very good English indeed. Nice restaurant on the rooftop with views of the harbour. The little garden area was a bonus as it kids occupied for most of the afternoon. Would definitely recommend 👌

Interesting interactive place for the kids and adults. Inside of the museum playground where parents can relax in the shadow while kids having fun.

I travelled 30 minutes for this museum and I cant say I wasnt disappointed, firstly there is no parking, even though at the entrance I saw 2 cars parked, if they could at least let in a few cars that would be convenient, especially because most people are travelling with children. I had to drive round the town twice just to find parking. At the entrance the woman sitting there didn't when bother to get up and assist with the door seeing I had a child and a stroller, she just watched me struggle. There were some stuff at the reception my daughter touched and she was told not to. As a "touch everything" museum I'd assume everything is touchable, they should really remove the stuff that cannot be touched to higher shelves. I'm guessing they were items for sale. Entrance price is cheap which is good, however everything from there just seems a little dull, nothing seems very exciting for kids apart from the submarine that was very colourful and had sounds and buttons and twisty handles. Some of the activities need maintenance too, for example the rowing machine - only 1 row worked. The garden was fun for my daughter but it all needs maintenance, there's a lot of overgrown weeds and just seems run down. Views from the garden are quite nice of the harbour too. The boat and water activity kept my daughter entertained and she loved trying to figure out how to unlock the treasure chest. The place is quite small too, so it definitely isn't worth travelling to put yourself through so much for not much. Just take your kids to a park and you'll have the same fun! If you have older children who are genuinely interested in science then this place is interesting but it's not really well suited for children below 3 apart from the few things I mentioned above.

Good place for having your little ones burn off some energy and give mommy and daddy a bit of a breather. Unlike most museums in Europe, they have a "please touch" policy, meaning you don't have to have eyes at the back of your head while your kids wreck the place. We got there on a sunny afternoon and found it very relaxing, especially since they have an outdoor play area and slide!

Small, but perfectly formed museum! Creative displays - I especially loved the big 'Cabinet of curiosities', which was a room sized enclosure with everything from ethnography, through medieval objects to natural history exhibits. Stunning gold church interior as the last room. Simple single route through the museum. Each room had at least one tactile object with accompanying brail description.

The faulty towers of museums! An eclectic collection of anything ‘Lagos’ including some nice local art and historic paraphernalia. A very strange method of entry existed when I visited and the staff appear to have been trained by the gestapo ! All in all worth a visit especially if you qualify for consessions and it is a grey and windy day.

Measly entrance free for an interesting museum, albeit one with a very confusing layout, with no clear directions which way to go. The pièce de resistance is St Anthony’s Chapel, right before you exit. There is no warning to the immense, gilded grandeur you’ll see. Worth the price of admission alone. Otherwise some random, beautiful artifacts and mediocre nature themed art pieces. Staff are quite kind (except for the moody reception). In and out in less than an hour.

Nice little museum, worth a visit with family. You’ll spend about 20–30 minutes there. It costs around €1.50 for students or €3 for adults. When it’s smoking hot outside, it’s a good place to visit – they also have AC!

Just walked be and decided to visit. Entree €3. Nice things to see. Paintings, old stuff, very beautiful Church with a lot of gold. Lets surprise you!

Museum is OK for the price, but the wait is too long. We waited 30 minutes on the hot streets before the angry looking fat man let inside, where we waited another 10 minutes to be let into the mostly empty museum.

The museum and church are both combined. Service is very helpful. Be aware of brake driving a day between 1300 and 1400. Exhibition is very interesting for both kids and adults. For kids you have an interactive demonstration of ships battle and outcome with melted canon AND plan of city in miniature.

As of July 2025 this area is closed due to falling rock activity on the cliffs. Anyway the beach is tiny and the way down strenuous. There are better and bigger beaches at each side.

Beautiful place, highly recommend. We went in off season so no issues with parking & no big crowds.

The view from on top of the cliffs is simply breathtaking. As for a beach, this is a nice quiet area but it can get a bit busy. There are tunnels in the rocks so you can walk from little beach to beach but be careful during high tide as the tunnels can fill up with water. The water itself was pretty clean but it was very cold even though I visited in the middle of the summer.

One of the best beaches I the Lagos area. The rocks and caves are amazing. You can walk in Some caves without taking boats or kayak. There are stone stairs taking you down to the small beach there where you can see quite a few rocks. I particularly like the caves that I can just walk in. Strongly recommend this beach.

One of the best beach in Lagos. Don’t miss it. It’s mostly empty in October. You don’t find many people here. Sandy and sunny all time. Perfect place to relax 😇

The beach is conveniently located just a short distance from the town center of Lagos, making it easily accessible. It's a long sandy beach that stretches for about 4 kilometers, bordered by beautiful cliffs and turquoise waters.

Beach was shut but you can see it from the path above and it is very pretty!

There are no words. Stunning rock formation and wonderful views and vibes. Walking through a cave to access the next beach is spectacular.

Extremely relaxing beach with great scenery. I visited there in April, so there were few people enjoying the beach.. I had great time sunbathing and wave watching in a mild weather. This location is on the way to the famous hiking route “potadipiadade”. You should stop by if you follow this hiking route.

Beatiful coves, nice small beaches, but a bit overcrowded when you go from the main beach. Come early to claim your spot, or just come to see, take picture and then go to other beaches, like Meia Praia

Versy scenic beach, linked to the two near oneas by tunnels in the rocks. There is not a lot of space, i tecommend to show up early in the morning to tale a spot.

Great beach area that is accessible by walking from the old town or along the waterway. The beaches are small and look somewhat secluded which makes them very cool and exciting to visit. Being able to move from beach to beach through the tunnels is cool. Great spot to visit for an amazing view from above the rocks.

Unique bridge connecting two rock formations. Beautiful natural tunnels between areas. Some graffiti may impede picture quality.

Nice view and beautiful beach

A true local gem! Mercado Municipal de Lagos offers an authentic taste of Portuguese life. The ground floor is all about fresh fish—caught the same morning and beautifully displayed. Even if you’re not buying, it’s worth seeing for the atmosphere alone. Upstairs, you’ll find fruit, vegetables, regional delicacies, and sometimes small crafts or local treats. The vendors are friendly and proud of what they sell. Everything is colorful, fresh, and full of character. Great prices too! If you’re visiting Lagos, don’t miss this place. Come early in the morning to experience the real vibe—and grab a coffee from a nearby café while you soak in the energy of the town waking up.

A charming and authentic little market in the heart of Lagos! Mercado Municipal is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're into fresh fish, local produce, and a great atmosphere. While the selection isn’t huge, the quality is high, and it’s fun to walk around and soak up the local vibe. The building has been nicely renovated, and there are also small stalls with souvenirs and local specialties. A great place to start your day if you’re looking for something a bit more local and less touristy.

Good place to visit in Lagos. Some great fresh produce available as well as mementos to take home. More signage would be advantageous The wine shop upstairs was particularly good with very friendly and knowledgeable proprietors.

Had the best Figs i ate in my life from one of the stands at this market. The fish looked really really fresh. Can't speak on prices since i have no idea what things go for locally, but the products looked really good.

Relativity small place but I managed to find a lady who grows spicy peppers and makes sauces with them and she was so lovely and helpful!

Fiah and vegetables market. Not many vendors with a lot of open stalls. Restaurant on top floor.

This is a place with multiple stalls, so there's good and bad. We were a bit late in the day so the fish stalls were closing but they looked good. Upstairs was interesting. Avoid the fruit and veg stall. We were properly ripped off for a few tomatoes and a single peach. To cap it off they weren't the best either. Now on the other hand there is a stall selling various wines, ports, spirits, etc. The lady was lovely and very informative. She was happy to give samples and just generally excellent. Her produce was also reasonably priced and very good. Definitely return for her, but avoid the fruit stall.

Ditections take you away from proper Old Town. Do not follow this!

We had a great dinner with 8 people and enjoyed a lot of small starters and main course. It was delicious. The view from the terrace over the sea is great, even at night

Last night in Lagos and had our final dinner at Mar. The view was incredible, the service was great, and the food was excellent. We had everything from the Portuguese tenderloin to fresh caught red snapper to the seafood risotto. And the appetizers pictured were delicious. Overall A+ meal!

Super scenery! Perfect food. Also dishes which are not at every menue. Service is friendly, correct and good. Today was my 6th visit here for lunch. It was raining cats and dogs. what a weather-show

What a find. There aren’t many restaurants where you can sit under the moonlight and listen to the waves crashing onto the shore - but here you can experience both. Onto the food. The swordfish carpaccio is not a common Lagos headliner, but here it is as good as I have found in any Italian Rst: smoked to perfection, and sliced perfectly. The seafood risotto probably uses artificial flavourings because it tastes too perfect and leaves that parched feeling in your mouth after it has been consumed, but this is a small indiscretion for the price you pay. Very highly recommended.

Great place to have a snack or meal in Praia do Estudiantes: Tapas were beautifully presented. Risotto de Mariscos was amazing. 100% recommended

The best thing about the restaurant is its location, you are high overlooking back into Lagos new town, and the ocean, it is a lovely view. Our food was nice, couldn't really fault it. Prices are a bit on the higher end, I guess you are paying for the view because we didn't pay for service. When waiting to book a table earlier in the day we were ignored until we had to put ourselves in the path of the waiter to get his attention. When we later arrived at the allocated time, again we were ignored, it took some time and again us having to move in the path of the Maitr d' to get attention to be seated after 5 mins of standing and waiting. The Maitre d'retaurant, spoke rudely and was a grump of a man. Our main course took an hour and 20 mins to arrive, the food was nice but nothing outstanding. This restaurant doesn't quite hit the mark based on our experience. I have to say it was very busy on the night and is a great location, maybe we just struck a bad night with the main waiters ? We didn't have 2 other servers that were lovely. We have seen the view now, probably wouldn't go back.

My wife and I stopped here for a mid-day coffee because of the amazing view. We sat down and after just a bit over 15 mins of waiting I've called one of the waiters to ask them to take our order. We haven't been seen by any of the waiters, not offered a drinks menu which was missing from the table or anything for over 15 minutes. At a table close to us there was a couple sitting at a double table with 4 chairs, which at some point was split by one of the waiters (to make room for 2 more customers) but the couple was actually waiting for another couple. The lady tried to say something but the guy moved very quick and then left. I finally had my coffee as well which was good and along with the views, made a good combo. Probably it was just a bad day for the staff. Management could improve employees performance with some on-going training for their staff.

Honestly not what was expected. The castle remains appears to be on the outside alone and not in its entirety as presumed. Nevertheless it's still a good sight.

Didn’t have the chance to get inside but from the outside looked impressive.

The castle was nice historical place to visit and good choice for a place which does not take very long to explore. The place is better for adults and people who don't have problems with stairs. I wouldn't go there with kids as there are many areas without proper protection from falling. There are only few parking spots.

An interesting medieval castle with an arch way. I walked through it many times while on holiday. The surrounding castle walls are worth looking at. Mostly viewed from the outside of the town and what's left of them is mostly to the North and West of the town.

There was less to the castle then I was expecting and still good to see as you walk around the old town.

I really enjoyed my stay here in Lagos. Everything about this town was quaint and charming. Exploring the alleys and finding unique centuries old doors reminded me of the reason I travel. The people were super nice and I could easily get around this town.

Worthwhile hunting around here and seeing the area. Some hidden shrines and church right next door which was lovely :)

A place in the middle of Lagos. It is somewhat remote from the main street where all the tourist stores are. So you have to pay attention. I will again cover my standard points. Staff: Very friendly and good English. Food: We had coffee and something sweet here. The flat white could have been a little stronger from me. The lemon cake was delicious very fluffy. The interior is somewhat minimalist but nice pictures on the wall. We mostly sat outside on the small patio. Music: This was not present on the terrace. You did hear the fanatical club music from a place next door unfortunately. If you are in the area definitely a good one to grab a cup of coffee.

A very nice, friendly coffee studio in centre of Lagos. A few outdoor seating and also some indoor seating. Very good coffee and small bites. The breakfast looked good as well. Staff is super friendly and I only wish I asked the server her name. Going back for sure

It’s a lovely place to get coffee or a matcha latte. Vegan milk options are also available. The staffs are welcoming and very friendly. They have interesting coffee options that you can try, with different flavor palette. Overall the place is a good option for a coffee or a matcha in Lagos.

Charming, friendly and high quality drinks. Esspresso, cold brew and bubble tea were all delicious. Tea, various cold drinks and cakes and sweets also offered.

I’ve came here a while ago and was a lovely surprise, great coffee and food! Back today and they changed a bit, but still, amazing coffee and soooo tasty food, perfect to have in (doesn’t take long) or more perfect to take to the beach! Wraps / Toastes / Quiches! Just go for it!

Five star coffee given its location: This is a 4 star in any hipster area of a big city, but the best relative to others within a one hour drive. Wonderfully located near the sheltered parking for Lagos Old Town we made a beeline here after arriving, and were pleasantly surprised. They use the mahlkonig grinder for anyone who cares.

A lovely little café and coffee roaster. The blends are great. Plenty of coffee brewing tools to purchase as well: Aeropress, V60 etc. Well worth a stop if you're big into coffee!

The Salty Lodge is perfectly located – within just 100 meters you have everything you could possibly need: shops, restaurants, the beach, and local attractions. The facilities are exceptional, combining comfort with a stylish design that makes you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. Everything is spotless – cleanliness is truly impeccable. Accessibility is excellent, making it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend The Salty Lodge to any traveler looking for the perfect base in this beautiful location. Thank you for the outstanding hospitality!

Had a wonderful stay at The Salty Lodge recently. The apartments are very comfortable and have everything you will need during your holiday. They are spacious, airy, well lit and the kitchen has everything too. The location is superb, in the middle of all the action but surprisingly, there is no noise from the street level inside. Sea views from the terrace are amazing, one could spend hours sitting there. All the top eateries of Lagos are within a short walking distance. Joana was very kind and helpful too - there wasn't anything more we could have hoped from a holiday stay. Had a great experience overall and will highly recommend this as a place to choose for your travels.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our first time in Lagos so the introductory briefing on arrival was very welcome and done brilliantly. Loved the outdoor space on the top floor for sunshine, fresh air and the view. The 'magic cupboard' on the ground floor from which we borrowed beach chairs, beach towels, a bodyboard and then salt and oils for cooking is just fantastic. Apartment is great anyway, this is an added bonus. Salty Lodge is in the best position we could have hoped for right on the main street . Lovely clean and well equipped Apartment with friendly staff and great add ons as detailed make this a marvellous place to stay.

We LOVED staying at the Salty Lodge and were so happy we picked it. Such a perfect location to the beach and all the rest of the restaurants and old town. The staff were all so helpful and amazing l! We also really appreciated the daily coffee pods in the room and the use of beach towels, beach umbrellas and bikes. The roof top lounge was our favourite spot to hang out as it has such beautiful views in all directions.

There wasn't anything more we could have hoped from a holiday stay. Had a great experience overall and will highly recommend this as a place to choose for your travels.

My wife, daughter, and I recently stayed at The Salty Lodge in Lagos and had a wonderful experience. We had an apartment in a small condo-style building that’s run with the care of a boutique hotel. The location was excellent — right in the heart of town, close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. A huge thank you to both Joanas on staff, who were incredibly helpful before and during our stay. From clear directions on getting there to warm greetings and great local recommendations, they made everything easy and enjoyable. Comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly located — we’d gladly stay here again! Roger ,Melody & Haley

Such an amazing stay! The staff were really attentive from the start, we were a big group so they helped us book restaurants and offered to sort out transfers. Location couldn’t have been better and the rooms were beautiful and clean. Loved the complementary yoga class!

Arch of entry to the city. Very nice both during the night and all illuminated at night.

beautiful entrance to the old city of Lagos.

Entrance to old town. Good place for taxi drop off

Very well kept entrance. Must see

Iconic bridge. Tale a good shot walking up from Puente Viejo.

Well maintained city walls.

Cool historical spot

Cheap drinks; €4.50 for 0.5cl beers and €3.50 for bottles of cider, €7 cocktails etc and nice relaxed house music on

Great tunes, nice cocktails and the bloody hot dawgs are tasty! The French chef has some weird jokes but lovely old man

19 € two 0,5l beers, 2 calippo and one 0,5l water( with ice cubes because it was not cold). I think it is pretty clear.

Nice place for a beer looking at the ocean. THE BEST staff I met in Lagos: polite, friendly, efficient (a rarity) and spoke perfect english (I was served by someone seemingly from UK). Beware: touristic price (4.50 Euros for a large beer). Beer was great, though. Just missing some "healthy" snacks like olives, peanuts or tremoços (they just serve industrialized chips).

Good drinks and kind owner. Greetings from Groningen!

Great little beach and beach bar very close to Lagos old town. Great for a beer and a snack.

The drinks and people working there are the best 👌 I could even charge my phone when I ASKED nicely 🧐 Yeah, but seriously, you have to be there, visit the place and just chill out having the best rum and cocktails in town. Obrigado

Our less favorite hostel in Portugal, it’s still ok. Bunk beds are 3 high with bars that hurt your feet a lot. All common areas close at midnight. There is really not enough space in the room to put suitcases. The lockers are also very small. The kitchen is really small to cook properly. The staff was really nice and we still enjoyed our time there, but not a big ambiance. I recommend you to take another hostel:)

Chill, veryy small hostel, great location just a street over from all action so it’s convenient but not too loud. The rooms are kinda cramped and a little dirty but not a big deal, kitchen has everything you need. Bunks are 3 high & have curtains. No AC </3

One of the most relaxed hostels I’ve been to! The staff are sooo welcoming, it really is like a shared home. Everyone treats it like a home, easy to socialise and relax. They always have ‘events’ on daily and family dinner every night for cheap. The guys who work there are so easy to get on with and love to banter and make sure guests have everything they need while making themselves at home too *cough**cough* napping on the sofas … I mean working really hard ;)) if you prefer bigger hostels with a hotel vibe this isn’t the one for you but if you like a home away from home with friendly faces and a homely feel, definitely stay here. They all say it’s hard to leave old town and it genuinely is sad to leave the family you make here <33

Amazing!! Cant say enough good things. Clean, comfortable, welcoming, 20 somethings with good vibes! 3 bathrooms all with showers so you'll never have to wait too long. In a hotspot/lots of similar hostels nearby so the bars are always fun. Common rooms are perfect for getting to know fellow travellers. I stayed in the female dorm and it was very cute and clean. The place is cleaned and disinfected once per day and kept pretty tidy by the people there. The workers were awesome!

This hostel is overall pretty good. Definitely a very social hostel and is a party hostel for sure so keep that in mind if that’s not what you’re looking for! Overall good but it is very very small and the door is left unlocked all night and there are no locks on the doors of the rooms. So just be careful with valuables! I had a great time and met some really cool people :)

This hostel was great! The location was perfect to be close to all the shops and restaurants but also the beach. Filipe was wonderful throughout our stay and gave us a ton of recommendations, like which beaches were best and where we could find food after all the restaurants closed. Overall great experience!

New hostel, opened in June 2017. Has very spacious rooms, which is a real bonus for a hostel. Makes it easier to share the space with other people and enjoy a wonderful holiday on a low-budget. The position is right in the heart of the city, which makes it great for for day and night time activities. The personnel is nice, kind and always happy to help. I will definitely come back again. In total it has been one of the best experiences of my trip to portugal!

Lovely restaurant with a cozy vibe. We had to make a reservation a day before in order to get a table. Which is something to keep in mind if you want to visit. Soup of the day and the fish were delicious. My companion had the veggie Burger and found it a bit bland, but was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegetarian options compared to most Portuguese restaurants. Service was good and the food was ready fast. Overall a nice experience. The garden was well tended and lovely.

Hidden Gem in Lagos. Food was really delicious, perfect sized portions and excellent value. I would highly recommend the ribs or meat plate. The chicken satay starter is incredible - the satay sauce is amazing. I would love the recipe :). They had a good selection of drinks, affordable also. The venue itself is beautiful, good music and vibe, limes hanging above!

Brilliant spot for some nice outdoor dining and drinks. Had to wait 20 minutes but could wait at the bar and had a round of drinks. But the smell of the outdoor BBQ was great. For food I had the meat plate which came with a small rack of robs, a small sausage and a peice of pork. It comes with potatoes but you can swap it to fries. The meat was delicious and fell off the bone. The pork was alright but the highlight was the ribs with the sauce. The season chicken was fresh and was seasoned correctly. The strawberry daiquiri was nice and fresh and overall the drinks were great. Overall highly recommend that you go here and it is just a nice place with some great food.

We had dinner at The Garden in Lagos this evening, and it was just as good as last year when I visited with my eldest daughter. The food is tasty, the service warm and attentive, and the atmosphere truly special. The whole place feels like one big, relaxed garden party – no rush, just good vibes, grilling, and space for everyone. Tables are booked for 90 minutes, which is perfectly fair, but if you book a late slot (after 8:30 pm), there’s no time limit. This isn’t fine dining – and that’s a good thing. It’s all about enjoying good food in a laid-back setting. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic, social, and memorable evening in Lagos.

Wonderful barbecue restaurant offering classic meat plates, situated in a beautiful garden. The sirloin steak was exquisite! Service was also very friendly and efficient, the vibes in general were very pleasant! 😊

Read many mixed reviews, but can definitely say we had a great lunch here. Was a busy lunchtime but food was worth the wait. Ribs, Garden burger & Fish of the day were all excellent . You might want to confirm how you want the burgers cooked! We ordered well done and arrived Medium, still well tasty though. Yes there are flies but with any outdoor restaurants that's to be expected!

The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is the walled garden didn't let in any air so it can get a bit warm, depending on where your table is. They could also use an extractor on the massive BBQ. A couple of nights I walked past and it was like the place was on fire!! Thankfully it was fine the night we ate there. Good friendly staff and great food options at reasonable prices, and good drinks menu too. I'd happily go back.

They're are lots of good restaurants in the town centre but this one stood out. Really interesting interior, excellent service and very good food. It's difficult to book a table in the busy periods because there are so many walks-ins, but only a short wait for a table. It is worth it! Plenty of tables outside but I'd recommend going inside. You escape the heat and get to enjoy the actual restaurant.

Great restaurant in the center of Lagos. The service is welcoming, the food is excellent — especially the fresh fish and seafood — and the atmosphere is charming. A wonderful place to enjoy authentic Portuguese cuisine.

Best meal of our whole week! The gazpacho was so good and refreshing and the sole meunière was simply amazing! Add to that the lovely, classy atmosphere and attentive service (and a very good wine) and it's a winning combo... We would definitely go back!

4 adults for evening meal. Pre booked table 2 days in advance. Great welcome. Superb choice of food & beverages/wines. Excellent service food & drinks with vibrant atmosphere. The staff were first class. Thank you for looking after us during our visit.

After reviews I expected amazing food, but it was just okey. My mussels was with a quite intense fishy taste as if they were not sooo fresh (or maybe that was the style) - chicken pot was good had a lot of meet. Crème brulle was very Basic. Wine was very good and staff was suuuuuuper nice!

While the look and atmosphere are great, the restaurant and food dated and tired. We had to send first bottle of expensive bubbly back back as it was vinegar and second one only just made it. The food felt similarly old school, the fresh fish was great but the rest, not what we expected. Our waiter ourself was however old school and very attentive!

Top 3 most delicious oysters I've ever tasted, super friendly staff that was so helpful and attentive, and an amazing cataplana to boot. Old school charm

Not as scenic or dramatic as some of the cliffside beaches in Lagos, but still a great spot that’s easily accessible for everyone. It was quite busy, with a mix of visitors from kids to older folks. 🌊⛱️ The sand was smooth and the waves were beautiful—perfect for a relaxed beach day

I love this beach!! It’s big enough so it doesn’t feel crowned. Got no seaweed, there’s a small store where you could get water or other drinks. It’s perfect for a day at the beach

Probably the best beach in Lagos! Wonderful place to relax, sunbathe, or simply soaking in the beautiful scenery! You can even enter the sea in the good days. There are also decent beach bars around and a large free parking space so coming by car is no issue.

Nice beach ⛱️. Very clean, easy access to the beach. There is also a two restaurants.

The beach was nice with a moderate sized crowd. The road access to the parking is a bit of a traffic jam.

one of my two favorite beaches in Lagos. Excellent for surfers. Some parts are wavy during certain times of the year. Excellent place to exercise. When low tide the beach extends through the caves to a another nice beach . The east side of the beach has a mineral clay in the rocks. The clay bath is an excellent addition to one of the most beautiful beaches in Lagos and possibly in the world!

One of the favorite beaches, if not top, in the area. What sets it apart is that it is sizable, plenty of space to lay or play, clear water, amazing sea shells, great restaurants all around. A must visit if in Lagos.

We had dinner at The Green Room and were genuinely impressed by the quality of the food. The fajitas for two were outstanding, beautifully seasoned, generous in portion, and easily the highlight of the evening. I’d strongly recommend that dish to anyone visiting. However, the overall experience was a mixed bag. The music started off with a pleasant Brazilian vibe, but gradually shifted into very loud deep house. It quickly became overwhelming and made conversation difficult, especially as the evening progressed. The restaurant was clearly understaffed. Our beers (2nd drink order) were served only after we had already finished our main course, which detracted from the dining experience. The staff were doing their best under pressure, but the delays were noticeable. The venue was packed, which shows how popular the place is but it also meant a noisy environment and longer waiting times. If you value food above all else, it’s worth the visit. If you’re looking for a more relaxed, well-paced evening with attentive service and a pleasant ambiance, this might not be your first choice.

Good food here. If you’re veggie or vegan they have a few options which is a great find. The sweet potato flautas were delicious. The piri piri wing are SPICY be forewarned haha. Will say a bit of a strange atmosphere maybe just not our vibe. But over all good food and service.

Great Mexican restaurant in the heart of Lagos. Vegetarian friendly. Big selection of dishes. They have great cocktails and a good happy hour deal. They also have very tasty non-alcoholic drinks. We had the homemade lemonade and ginger ale which were yummy. We ordered tortilla chips, taquitos and fish tacos between the 2 of us and left very full. Can be quite busy in the evenings so would recommend making a reservation. We were lucky that a couple sitting outside didn't mind sharing their table with us.

Absolutely delicious! The tacos were bursting with flavor and the margaritas were perfect. We wasn’t too hungry supposed to eat one dish but we ordered after another 4 dishes. Can’t wait to come back.

Don’t hesitate to try this restaurant if u love Mexican food. Next level tastes. Had beef tacos with gravy (Beef Birria) and pork burrito - so so good. Staff extra friendly and amazing cocktails.

Amazing food! We had the fajitas to share and they were incredible! All the flavours fit so well together and were super balanced, while at the same time being very pronounced. Especially loved the baked beans, guacamole and the salsa verde! Ambiance is also very nice and the servers are funny and kind. Highly recommend!

Really nice food and drinks, but they took a while to come, and they forgot to give us our starter until we reminded them after our meal came. A bit understaffed and noisy. Would also highly recommend a reservation as there is a long queue.

Small, but to the point! Interesting souvenirs in the shop!

It is a nice initiative yet far from the long sought after national museum of the Discoveries that would encompass truly the history behind this amazing century. To take a good look into how we imagined its main protagonists and have a quick and highly digested knowledge of what happened, this is the place. The receptionist was very kind, and the souvenirs are also interesting. I think it takes 20 minutes to visit.

Nicely exhibit all the discoveries.Short but all required information is mentioned. It is located exactly at Marina de Lagos. Its not very big. You can finish in 15 to 20 min. If you love history then its worth a visit. On a hot sunny day a good experience.

This museum tells you about the past and facts you never knew about , it has some sound effects tahts give the scene some more confidents. It has facts in front of every secene,you and your family can learn a lot from this museum, make sure to come .:)1

Very interesting to find out about the history of friendship between Portugal and England! The Wax statues are so lifelike you expect them to start moving and talking!

Interesting if you want to know more of Portugal's history! Nice little shop in the entry, no WC. Cheap entry fee!

Small but beutiful vax museum of Portuguese discoverers. Here you can learn more about the Portuguese explorers, see how did they look like, learn more about this important era

The place to be on Saturday mornings! Cheap, fresh local produce, olives, nuts, bakery, eggs, flowers, plants, kombucha, jams, cakes & more.

Top farmers market! The produce is of great quality and there is a huge variety of products available.

A very nice place! Great produce from locals. Lovely and warm people. I've been here a couple of times, And almost always ate some goods. Specifically vegan tasty meals :)

Great farmers market full of local fresh produce and local regional specialties. Fruit and vegetables, nuts, sauces, jams, flowers, pastries and even chickens. The grapes and pastel de nata I had were nice.

Love supporting the hard working farmers in any country. I’ve been to many farmers markets all over the world, this one is amazing. A huge variety of veg, fruit, nuts, beans, pastries etc. Showcasing the delicious food of Portugal. I was surprised to see non local varieties of veg and fruit as well. The farmers are all so friendly, and the prices are great. It’s a vibrant energy that will make you want to go again!

This is for me one of the best weekly events in Lagos. Saturday mornings, there is the local farmers market with the best fruit & veggies that you can imagine as well as bread, cakes and local snacks. On Wednesdays after 4pm until 8pm there is also fruit &veggies from a wider community but also organic and pesticides free. Always with a nice craft beer from Mania craft brewery and sometimes with live music. A must go if you visit Lagos and enjoy local markets.

Amazing local produce and home made regional specialties! Highly recommend visiting and trying all the things.

SPECTACULAR! Choose this company bc Rui and his Co-Captain Daniel were great guides. Rui, a local, has been experiencing these waters since he was 10 years old and has over 30 years experience himself giving these tours so you can feel safe with this crew! Rui was very knowledgeable, personable, skilled and a great communicator. It was a wavy day, so I didn't think we'd get to see everything but we did. He is such a good captain that we were still able to enter cool coves, go through tunnels and arches where other boat companies didn't venture in. The scenery was incredible! I highly recommend.

Wonderful tour of the Lagos coast and Ponta da Piedade! Great if you prefer smaller groups (max is 10 but we only had 5!) and a more relaxed experience. Family-owned boat company, multi-lingual and experienced captain, he maneuvered into each of the caves very skillfully, interesting narration about the history of Lagos, boat was comfortable and clean, we even got time to swim, highly recommend!

Unforgettable experience! Even though the sea wasn’t calm, Captain Rui Pedro took us smoothly surfing the waves like it was so easy and showed us the most beautiful sights of Lagos and Ponta da Piedade Caves. He even makes the tour in four languages at once. The man really knows his job. Thank you Captain Rui Pedro and his assistant Daniel for your kindness and dedication. We’re looking forward to be back.

We had such a fun and amazing trip with Lagos Boat Tours! The owner, Rui Pedro, made the tour even better with lots of interesting and funny facts about the area. You can really tell he loves what he does! Definitely a must-do.

Amazing tour! Great experiece wirh these guys! It was way better that a Huge boat. We managed to see all the cliffs and caves up close. Great captain! 100% recommend. We will be back.

Great 1hr tour. Rui was knowledgeable, did the tour in Spanish and English, and had great timing at the busy spots. His small boat fits into all the caves and grottos. Let us take all the photos we wanted. 10/10 experience

Fantastic boat trip and great Captain Rui. We booked a morning trip but the weather wasn’t great. Rui phoned us in plenty of time so we were still at our hotel. He rebooked us for the afternoon tour. When we arrived, it was just us as passengers! Rui is an excellent guide and very friendly. I’m not a good sailor but Rui handled his boat so well that I never felt uncomfortable. The tour is one we’ll never forget. Obrigada Rui, for a wonderful 25th wedding anniversary trip.

The tour with Discover Tours was truly incredible! From start to finish, everything was well organized and the staff were super friendly, enthusiastic, and made everyone feel welcome. One of the absolute highlights was their unique Beer Challenge such a fun and original activity that really added something special to the experience. The views along the way were breathtaking, and the whole atmosphere was just relaxed and enjoyable. It was a perfect mix of adventure, fun, and beautiful scenery. For the price, it was more than worth it an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Great staff and an amazing tour! The sites were gorgeous and the boat was clean, stable, and had plenty of seating. Snacks and drinks were available for purchase and there were even two bathrooms. We stopped in a private lagoon for swimming and paddle sports. It was a ton of fun! We would absolutely do it again.

It was a fantastic 2 hours tour. Friendly and funny staff. Our guide McKenzie did a good job and guided us through the caves. It is definitely the most beautiful way to discover this part of Lagos, as from above the most parts are hidden. We felt safe and had a lot of fun. To be repeated next time and really recommended, if you like the water and don‘t mind some waves. M&L

Amazing trip , we got to see lodes of dolphins. The guides were very knowledgeable. The boat itself was very smooth not like the speed boats, we were able to walk around, get food and drinks from the bar inside, and the boat even had toilets. Once we had seen the dolphins we got the opportunity to jump off the boat and go for a swim as well as go down the boat’s inflatable slide. Amazing trip would definitely recommend this company!

We had a lovely time on the catamaran cruise. Very friendly staff! The catamaran is very steady in the water. Some lovely time during the trip to spend in the water. And a beautifull view and the coast line. Absolutely recommendable

The experience was amazing. The staff were so friendly and welcoming they made it a pleasure being on the boat. A nice boat ride out in search of the dolphins and once we found them they were playing around the boat for about 30 mins. We then headed back and dropped anchor near a rocky cove where we were able to spend 45 mins jumping off the boat via the top deck or a slide. If you want a fantastic morning or afternoon then book with these guys. The whole thing was fantastic from start to finish.

The excursion was so much fun! Three hours was a perfect amount. There was a small water floaty and so many fun things to do. The water wasn’t cold so I loved it. We saw dolphins on the way there too! During August it’s definitely one of the busier months but we all took turns with pattleboards and pool noodles. Would recommend!

Visiting Benagil caves with their boat was amazing experience. The speed boat ride itself for getting to caves was so nice. Benagil caves is a must visit. You get to see many caves in different sizes including secret or unexpected ones. Appreciate rock formations and cliffs. To me, it was unforgettable experience and i think, it is worth for every penny. I thank you the team, the guide and the captain. I definetly recommend this company.

We went on a boat tour with Seafaris from Lagos to visit the Benagil Caves — and it was a fantastic experience! The tour was well organized, and the boat ride itself was beautiful. Our guide (Thomas) and skipper, Tom and Jerry, were excellent — both spoke perfect English, were super friendly, and made the trip fun and informative. The caves are absolutely stunning and a must-see when in the Algarve. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing and boat adventure. We highly recommend this tour with Seafaris!

This tour was amazing! We got the chance to see dolphins after a long search about 20 minutes on the sea. We even surprisingly spotted a Sea Parrot, which is seldomly found in south Portugal, according to our guide. We met one family of dolphins and got so close to them. So excited. And I give great compliments to our dedicated guides. They gave us a detailed explanation about the species we saw. They’re very knowledgeable and helpful. Before we got on board, one staff also chatted with us so talkatively. We appreciate that. A very nice experience! Thank you!👍👍👍

such a great team. very professional, funny and experienced. from the ladies behind the counter to the gentlemen on the boat, they together made for an amazing experience. If we go to Portugal next year, we will not skip this boat trip. And most importantly saw beautiful dolphins up close. Thank you for a amazing ride! Abrigada

I had a really great time with Seafaris. I did the benagil tour and ponta da piedade tour with this company. two days in a row. Very nice and great sailing. It was worth it.

It’s wildlife but we had luck so we saw a large group of common dolphins. We had an amazing experience, the captain and the crew were nice and helpful.

This trip was so beautiful. We were enjoyed from the beginning till the end. We saw many dolphins and at the and there was a surprise: the whale 🐋.

Great Family Adventure! We had a fantastic time at Parque Aventura in Lagos. The park is well-organized, and the staff is friendly and professional. The courses offer a good mix of challenge and fun, with different levels for all abilities. Everything felt very safe, and the equipment was in great condition. Our 4-year-old son had an amazing time on the children’s course, which was perfect for his age. He loved climbing and exploring, and the staff was very patient and encouraging. It was great to see him so engaged and having fun. The setting in the middle of nature makes the experience even better. If you're looking for a fun outdoor activity for the whole family, this is definitely a great choice. We’d happily come back!

Great staff, well organized, pretty view of nature, good space for picnic. Toilets could be a bit better but for the nature of the attraction it's acceptable.

Very good, with a variety of course to choose from with different skill levels. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good value for money. Kids will be entertained for a good few hours.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at Parque Aventura Lagos! The climbing and zip-lining through the trees were thrilling and so much fun. The staff was friendly and professional, ensuring our safety at all times. We loved every minute of it and can't wait to come back. Highly recommended for an adventurous day out!

Great place to take the kids for an afternoon. Suitable for our three year old who is over 100cm and our 6 year old who is over 120cm

Really fun experience - after a short safety demo you are free to take on the various challenges on your own! The fearless level is just thrilling enough without being overwhelming 😄

People who worked there where paying more attention to their phones than the customers. But the park was fun.

This was definitely the highlight of my vacation this summer and one of those magical moments iny life. The staff was very friendly and our guide and biologist Danielle was such a lovely person and you noticed right away that she loves the animals. She also got excited as we saw quite a large group of dolphins (about 60). She was open to answer any question and was just such a wonderful animal loving person with so much knowledge. This boat trip will always be in my heart and I hope the guides also manage to make people to get more conscious about nature and the harm we can do to it, to all the animals and also to us. Thanks again for this experience and I hope I can repeat it some day. 100% worth!!!

Incredible experience – absolutely worth it! We took the early morning tour at 9:15 AM, which I definitely recommend – the chances of seeing dolphins seem to be higher early in the day. And wow, did it deliver: we saw over 100 dolphins, including several babies swimming alongside the adults. It was magical. The group size was small, which made everything more personal and calm. The boat ride was very smooth – you barely feel the waves, especially if you sit towards the back. Of course, once dolphins are spotted, everyone jumps up anyway and moves around to get the best view. Our guide was a marine biologist and shared tons of interesting facts about dolphins and other sea mammals. There was even a little booklet on board with more info to read during the trip – a really nice touch. Seeing dolphin families in their natural environment, undisturbed and peaceful, was an unforgettable experience. You can really tell the crew respects the animals and knows what they’re doing. Highly recommended!

A wonderful experience, from start to finish! This is a safari style tour, which means we went out looking for dolphins and other sea creatures that were in the wild. The success of the trip depended on a number of factors such as weather, season, luck, and the skills of the two marine biologists who led the tour. They have a 96% success rate, and that is outstanding and reassuring. The boat, Sea-a-Lot is a roomy catamaran with a pair of powerful outboard motors. The seats were comfortable and the vessel, due to the catamaran design, was stable and not prone to rolling. The lead biologist, Daniela, was an absolute delight. She was the perfect combination of friendliness, knowledge and enthusiasm. She made this journey lively and enjoyable. Did we see any dolphins? Yes, we did! It took about 30-35 minutes of motoring and we saw a bunch of dorsal fins in the far horizon. We slowed down and approached placidly. It was a pod of Common Dolphins, with adults and children in the mix. They were playful and they stayed with the boat for over 30 minutes, weaving, ducking and swimming around us. It was an experience! I have swam with dolphins and visited other so-called dolphin sanctuaries before. The big difference is that these dolphins were not in captivity. Hence, a safari trip. Highly recommended!

This boat tour in Lagos was a highlight of our trip. Guided by a passionate marine biologist, we learned so much about local marine life in a fun and engaging way. The scenery was stunning—cliffs, caves, and crystal-clear waters—and spotting dolphins was a magical bonus. Educational, relaxing, and unforgettable. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

The staff at SeaLife is so professional and kind! Everyone involved was great, and they were incredibly nice to our 2.5yo, ensuring he was happy, safe and comfortable. We got the experience of a lifetime, (supposedly a 0.5% chance!) of seeing two Iberian Orcas !!!! The marine biologist leading the tour adds a great deal to this trip; we could tell she was thrilled and provided a ton of great information about what we were witnessing. They gave us extended time watching the Orcas but still managed to show us all of the beautiful caves within our allotted tour. Highly recommend going with this group and this tour! You get the experiences of the caves plus a very special addition of dolphin watching, too. It’s the best option especially if it’s still early in the season and too chilly to swim!

We had a wonderful experience! The guide and the captain were both very kind and it was a really positive and fun experience for everyone on board. We were extremely lucky to see a large group of bottlenose dolphins ❤️

We loved our trip out to see the Dolphins. They came right up to us it was unbelievable. 100% recommend 👌🏼

Best hostel I have stayed at within my 3 months of solo-traveling!! Safe, social, clean, and central. I stayed in a 8 person shared dorm and it was spacious, with large under-bed storage. Lots of hooks for hanging things, each bed had a light and outlet as well. No curtains but clean and comfy beds. The rooftop was the best part. Every morning they have a sunrise event with free tea and blankets available. I went every morning and it was beautiful overlooking the beach! The pool is open everyday, and the bar from 4pm-8pm with happy hour 4-6pm. Upon arrival you get a free beer/cider coupon to redeem, just always bring €1 because you have to give a deposit for the cup. Cash only up there as well. Laundry was good, spacious washer and dryer. €5 for wash, soap included, 2€ for dry. They had events almost every day, I went on the free pub crawl and the Algar-Seco/Benagil Cave tour. Would recommend both! Great guides, great way to meet people. Ended up extending my stay twice cause I loved it so much! Thank you so much for the great accommodation. (Stayed October 2025)

Super friendly staff, plenty of activities scheduled (the pub crawl was very popular with like 30 people going!), very clean rooms. Great location by the beach and lots of gift shops, restaurants and small stores. Feels safe to walk around. Excellent rooftop pool with lots of seating. My only complaint is that the wifi in the rooms is not great, but it works fine in common areas. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing experience as a female solo traveler! Felt super safe and the whole vibe of the hostel was just amazing overall. Friendly staff, clean common areas and rooms. Only disadvantage: didn’t have drying racks to let swimming suits and towels dry.

Incredible Hostel, one of the best I have stayed in. The Staff here are amazing, they will help you in every way possible. I highly recommend joining the WhatsApp group to stay in the know about what the hostel has going on, as well as they give you recommendations on what you can do whilst you are there. Extremely clean place, they have a lovely roof terrace which includes a pool, bar and seating area. Nice place to catch an end of the day tan. Tiago runs the tour of the Bengal Caves, he is very knowledgeable and loves to talk about football if you’re into it! Lovely chap. Highly recommend joining the trip. It is good value for the €40. Breakfast in the morning is a nice touch and gets you ready for the day. There is a great food spot around the corner called “The Garden”, I advise you book the day before as it gets busy. The food and drink options are great there and it is very affordable!

A big hostel with lots of people but good organized, has good breakfast, good activites like bbq and pubcrawl, free welcome drink, cheap laundry service, kind staff. Yet beds are not comfortable, 1 euro deposit for plastic cups-even for the free welcome drink, toilets are not always so clean(i cant blame the hostel though, there are lots of people unaware of cleaning their own things). Anyways, 8.5/10.

As a backpacker, ı was not looking to have a swimming pool. At the end i chose this hostel after reading comments on hostelworld and google maps. Very clean, large rooms and many bathrooms and showers. Rooftop pool and bar is stunning. it is also a socializing area among travellers. I recommend %100 this hostel. İm thinking to come back!

All good, storage boxes where hard to access under the beds. No curtains to privatise your bed. Bad coffee. No complains otherwise, sweet staff and nice people all around. Good breakfast and clean infrastructure

This was a wonderful place to stay. Great staff, very friendly and stored our luggage for us when we got there early. Beautiful building and rooms, thoughtful decor, and it’s very clean and in a nice area. Great place to meet people and make friends. 10/10

A nicely decorated, clean, and quiet hostel. However, as someone who has stayed in many different types of hostels before, I didn’t notice any particularly outstanding feature that would make me say “this was exceptional,” so I find the very high ratings a bit overrated. In my room, there was a fan instead of air conditioning — which actually turned out to be fine — but I couldn’t get rid of the damp smell in the room despite airing it out. There was no shampoo provided in the bathroom. Maybe it was just the period I stayed, but the other guests didn’t seem very eager to socialize. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but for solo travelers hoping to meet people, this may not be the ideal place. On the positive side, the kitchen, bathrooms, and common areas were very clean, and the location was excellent. I didn’t hear any disturbing noise. It’s also nice that you can leave your backpack, use the bathroom and common areaz free of charge before check-in and after check-out. However, don’t count on being able to check in early. Overall, if you see the 4.8/5 rating and expect an unforgettable hostel experience, you might be a bit disappointed. But if you’re simply looking for a hostel that delivers what it should in a solid way, this is a good choice. My rating: 8.5/10.

It’s so cozy and family-like. Felt super safe and comfy instantly. Nice garden and rooftop and other spots to hang out. Location is very convenient for whatever you have planned. Also found the other people staying there super pleasant, which is not always the case in hostels. Thanks for a great stay :)

Such a great place to stay. Charming interior with old furnishing. Staff was lovely and very helpful. Great locations, close to everything. Offers a patio and a rooftop terrace. Has few bathrooms through out the house so never need to wait to get in. All is clean and well maintained. I booked with them directly and paid on arrival. Highly recommend and will be staying there again.

Cozy hostel, central location. Many pubs around so you’d need ear plugs to sleep. But apart from that, the place was well maintained and clean. The folks at the reception were lovely. They had so many activities for the travellers. Thankyou, Will definitely come back!

Does this hostel needs another review? :) Great first experience with hostel. Definitely know what to ask for next time: Where the windows face and asking if able to reserve the bottom of the bunk bed :D

Historical artifacts adorn this cosy, central, yet close to beach travellers hostel. Glasses of wine, tales of trips and sights seen are the norm as guests are naturally brought together in an instant shared experience community with stylish shared common spaces. Like hanging out at the cool Uncles pad.

Super nice beach. Take the small boat over the canal from the center of Lagos and you have a 2 minute walk. You can surf here when the swell is correct but it is very rare in the summer. There needs to be some storms etc. also there is no beach bars etc so bring water and food. But perfect for some hours of beach coziness

Charming. Almost desolate in October. Yet boasting its own train station.

I love this beach! This one is very clean, not crowded, shallow water and doesn’t have piles of seaweed around like (Praia dos Estudantes, Praia do Camilo etc.)

As a beach it’s very much ok. The wooden walkway traversing much of it is very helpful and takes you to a number of beach shack bars and eateries. It’s probably a push to call it the dune beach as it was hardly the Sahara and it was just overly pleasant without anything of note to report. It was nicer than some of the beaches in Albufeira, although that’s not saying much. If you’re in Lagos I guess you don’t have a wealth of options so this is a decent find. On the grand scale of beaches it’s very much par for the course.

Beautiful and clean. Windy in the afternoon so plan to go earlier. Better to stay in accommodations in old Lagos and walk here. Little boat takes you across for €1. The Praia da Batata beach is on the other side of the channel by the red and white marker and is a great beach too although much smaller

Agreed with one of the reviews. This beach was great. Stayed in old town and took the water taxi for one euro. One of the cleanest beaches I have experienced. Not crowded and km of beach to walk. For those that love shells this is the place.

Gorgeous Beach with plenty of room for everyone. Watch out for the water though, it’s cold. Very very cold

My rating extends only to the Christmas market, which is lovely. It’s definitely not as big or elaborate as those in Germany or Austria, but it’s clean, well-run, and I’d recommend it for all parents with children.

A lovely place to visit with lots of charm. No end of cafes and souvenir shops but displayed with style. It's ok for a day trip.

A beautiful square in the old town overlooking the marina. In the centre of the square stands a statue of Infante Dom Henrique / Henry the Navigator, inaugurated in 1960 on the 500th anniversary of his death.

Little square with trampolines during the summer. Great for little ones

Interesting area, but the plaza is not something very interesting

Beautiful place, at night with all the water, the lights, it is a romantic place or a good one to take pictures or just enjoy the view as the beach is super close.

Not too much to say really. A nice little area without cars, great for kiddies to run around.

Great walking exploration area. Food, small shops.

Nice to walk by/ through but not much to see we thought! Not sure if we missed the main attraction but better historical sites to see in Lagos in my opinion (Roman bridges, castle site, Igregio Sao Roque)

(Translated by Google) Interesting and worth checking out and watching. It also contrasts beautifully with the modern buildings. (Original) Interessant und es lohnt sich, das mal abzulaufen und anzuschauen. Schön auch mit den modernen Bauten im Kontrast.

It's a lovely walk in the park along the wall.

Historical ruins ocean front surrounded by all city beauties.

Wort to see. Old city with nice narrow streets and small restaurants. Good place to visit during the way to great beaches around. Park your car on city parking close the city wall fallow the signs on the street. Parking is free from payment.

Great piece of history

One of many scenic spots as we walked into town

Absolutely beautiful and awe striking caves and beaches! We did the kayaking tour and it was well worth it! Kayaking is a must here! The Portuguese guides were super friendly and very entertaining! I'll be doing this again!!!

This beach is easy to reach by foot. Wooden planks lead the way. There is a bar nearby at beach level, it's reasonably clean (trash wise) and there were life guards. It's a VERY POPULAR beach because of the unique setting below/between big rock formations. It's free! One big dislike is for the insane amounts of seaweed both in the water and on the shore. Needless to point out that it stinks and is popular with thousands of flies.

Only the seaweed spoils this beautiful beach in this delightful area on the gorgeous Algarve. It was quiet, calm, warm and set among ricks and caves. There's a small beach bar as you get down to the beach too.

Praia da Batata is just nice and beautiful. You have a few beaches next to each other connected by little caves in the rocks. Go and walk through all of them, it’s worth it. And if you’re a morning person, come here for the sunrise! 🌅

Nice beach where is not far from the center by foot. The water is Cold...XD

One of the most beautiful beaches in Lagos.

Overlooking the beautiful Praia da Batata, you'll find a bronze statue of Conçalo de Lagos (1360-1422), a revered Portuguese Catholic priest and Augustinian friar. The statue, erected in 2001 by public subscription. It's positioned on a viewpoint offering panoramic views of the golden sands, turquoise waters, and cliffs of Praia da Batata. The statue serves as a reminder of his legacy and offers a peaceful spot to reflect while enjoying the stunning coastal scenery.

The beach is busy by all tourists. Near to the Lagos city centre just 200 meters. Everything near by this beach. Recommend for lazy people 😅who don’t want to walk to go different beach’s.

We chose the small boats at low tide for a private tour and had one and a half hour ride of our life! Better than heaven!

Algarve and the fort are with seeing .This place is heaven on earth.

Lovely spot

Great spot to do some admin

great view

Great experience with family! We bought tickets in advance and the process was smooth. Upon entrance, there is a nice small swimming pool and a water tank for penguins. The zoo is very clean, and the animals are well treated. I felt it was more focused on bird species, which was enjoyable, as my son loved it 😄 There are also a lot of wild animals, as well as farm animals.

Cute little zoo. Very well kept. We went with our toddler (2 year old) and visit it all in under 2 hours. Because he just wanted to be moving. There is a small pool which we also didn’t use but it was empty almost the all Morning we were there. Went in the last week of August, it was busy but not over crowded.

We arrived at 10am and were basically the first people in, making for a quiet visit. The staff were all friendly and set us on our way through the zoo. While it's not a massive zoo in terms of walking distance, don't be put off by that. it has a surprisingly large number of animals. Our visit lasted from 10 until 12:30pm, so I'd recommend planning for about a two-hour walk around.

An excellent little zoo, no mega fauna, but plenty of monkeys, birds and reptiles. A gentle two hours spent wandering, looking and reading the info boards which are in Portuguese and English. There's a nonlinear nature to walking around and you can easily miss a large section if you are not careful.

Despite this zoo being quite remote and small, it was pretty good. The wife and I visited here on a rather wet Monday in November. We arrived at around 10:30am to hardly any other guests or cars in the car park. The zoo is rather oddly across the road from the car park and some vehicles were not driving past in a safe manner. The entrance fee was a rather healthy €19 each for adults However, as soon as we entered we noticed that the enclosures were well designed for the animals, walkways were wide and varied to keep it interesting. The two cafes that we went to were well run with very helpful staff, luckily for us, the eating areas were covered, which kept us dry. Prices were surprisingly cheap in these cafes which was great. My only grumbles would be, better enclosure information. Some animals had no information and we had no idea what they were. One of them looked like a deer crossed with a rat and a rabbit ?? We also saw 2 dead wild animals. One of which was a dove by the flamingo enclosure that clearly had been there about a week or more and a dead mouse in a small water pool in a small enclosure, which was starting to decompose. There were quite a few toilets that were reasonably clean and well sign posted. The animals seemed to be generally well cared for and looked healthy. Overall pretty good but a bit more attention to detail is needed.

Fantastic day out for the family! The Zoo de Lagos was well worth the visit and considering we usually holiday in Lagos and surrounding areas we will certainly be back. We found the zoo was clean, the staff were very friendly and the animals looked to be well looked after. The enclosures were large enough not like some zoos and the appearance was more like a natural habitat which is nice to see. There were plenty of options for food and snacks around the park, reasonable prices although the smaller snacks were a little on the expensive side but not too bad. I have some pictures of their menus in my images as of July 25. We found plenty of options for toilets and any we used were spotless so fair play. They have a vast variety of animals notably birds! There are so many and plenty you don’t generally see. There are also gumball type machines with animal feed (€1) so you can feed some of the animals (not all of them so keep an eye for the signs). We finished up with a visit to their beach where you can supposedly swim alongside the penguins. They have a split penguin pool and swimming pool with viewing windows. The kids did have a swim but the penguins were a no show later on, probably a bit hot for them. Didn’t bother the kids they had a blast. There are also large changing rooms at the beach with lockers (€1 a use). As for transportation they have a large carpark if you drive and the No.6 bus from Lagos with take you up in 25-30min (it’s a nice scenic drive into the hills) for €1.60 a ticket. We took the bus and it was great, drops you right outside! When leaving you have to walk about 120m back down the road (to your right) to the bus stop as the bus does not pick up directly outside. All in all a fantastic day and highly recommended!

What a brilliant zoo! We’re on holiday and found the penguins on the Little Penguin website map, so just had to visit! A beautiful zoo with lots of animals and a lovely layout with lots of plants and greenery. You can even swim in a pool at the side of the penguins during the summer months. Definitely a great place to visit!

With the lighthouse, views, boardwalk and steps down to the water if in Lagos and mobility is not a challenge add it to your itinerary.

It's a must see place in Lagos. Trais leads you through amazing cliff views.

Visited in October, the wooden walkways are perfectly built and very well maintained. Stunning cliff and ocean views, super clean with no litter. Easy walk and wheelchair accessible. There’s a staircase at the end if you want to go down to the water. Spacious parking area nearby, definitely worth a visit!

A beautiful hiking path with wooden bridges, making it an easy walk with normal shoes. Although it is part of a natural park, it clearly caters to both domestic and foreign tourists. The views of the cliffs from above are stunning, with their dramatic shapes and colors—so striking that we immediately felt tempted to see them from the ocean by boat as well. And we couldn’t resist—the boat tour gave us the perfect second perspective. Parking is limited, but we had no issues since we arrived by scooter. There were toilets available (as of March 2025), but they weren’t well maintained and the ladies/gents distinction wasn’t respected. If you visit on a sunny day, be prepared with sun protection, as the path is open and offers little shade. Overall, it’s a beautiful walk and worth visiting, but the impression is even more powerful from the boat tour. For this reason I would rate it 4 stars - though if half-stars were possible, I'd happily give 4.5.

A must visit while in Lagos. Great spot to see the ocean and the Grottos up close when you walk down to the bottom.

Offre un spectacle vraiment incroyable. On peut voir toutes les roches qui ont été travaillées. We took a small path that allows us to travel a bit everywhere through all of this. You have to be careful because there are still places that are a bit tricky, so you really have to be careful. But the fact of being able to transport like this, it gives us views that we could not have if we stayed in the beaten paths. So it's really a must, if you are in Lagos you need to explore that area.

Passadiços da Ponta da Piedade is a scenic walkway located in Lagos, Portugal, offering unparalleled views of the Algarve’s dramatic coastline and the renowned Ponta da Piedade headland. This walkway winds along the cliff tops, providing visitors with a safe and accessible path to explore the stunning natural beauty of the area. The boardwalk and viewing platforms are thoughtfully designed to blend with the landscape, minimizing environmental impact while maximizing the panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, golden cliffs, and the intricate sea caves and rock formations below.

Nice setting in the central area of Lagod

The statue looks like a Playmobil space cadet

A short walk from parking. Lots of street food layer on and the best steak ever not far from here.

Very nice

Important statue of a Portuguese historic figure

Great square.

(Translated by Google) Pleasant place with plenty of space. It's nice to breathe. (Original) Place agréable avec de l'espace. On respire, ça fait plaisir.

From the boardwalk look for a shade spot with a lower cross slat removed and a sharpie note "NUDE BEACH -->". I climbed down in sandals and did fine. it took 5 minutes going slow. there are some makeshift stairs most of the way down. We had an exceptional time at this nude beach.

Beautiful beach. Access down a path is not difficult. Very chilled vibe. Mostly naturist to the left, textiles to the right as you face the water

Well worth the climb!!! It wasn’t too bad, never so steep or narrow that I was worried about losing footing but steep enough that I slowed way down and took my time. A few places you could slide for sure. We did it with a six month old and a 3 year old but it’s probably not for everyone especially if you’re carrying a stroller etc. The beach itself is gorgeous. Dramatic, shallow, big waves but no kelp. Not much shade so bring an umbrella. Took us 15-18 minutes from the lighthouse. Go off the boardwalk where there’s a piece missing. Tried to provide some photos of the steeper parts where it gets sandy/slippery. We were so glad we made the trek.

nudist friendly cliff beach. the most beautiful water and never too crowded! pack sturdy footwear to access safely!

Love this nude beach! Private and secluded. Walk down isn’t too strenuous did it in birks/barefoot. Waves can be a bit gnarly and water is freeeesh! Came here 3 days in a row with no regrets

Beach was very beautiful but it’s a stone beach! Almost no sand to lay on but still very beautiful and there were some flat stones where you can lay on easily. The hike down wasn’t very hard and only took around 15 minutes. It is a nude beach, so many people are naked.

Really nice beach! You have to go through the railing to get there and the path might be slippery. We made it with Birkenstock 👍🏻😂 The water might be getting close to the stones so watch the waves. Our towels got wet 😉😂

Worth a visit if you are there. Good views of the coast. Overall not too much to do there

Lagos is the port where the first enslaved Africans disembarked from Portuguese ships in 1444, marking the very beginning of the transatlantic slave trade. Yet the only acknowledgement of this history within the popular, touristic centre of the city is a small museum called the “Slave Market” which opened in 2016, in collaboration with UNESCO.

Very nice statue next to a misting reflecting pool type of structure in this open public space. During the Christmas season, there's a few children's events and structures erected nearby, this season there was a mock ice skating rink, done with plastic, and a bounce house climbing inflatable slide in this area extending to the Jardim next to the church.

From the moment the springs are turned on at about midday until they are turned off at midnight, this place is truly magical and provides an almost earie connection to the frantic, colourful history of Lagos.

Best dining experience in Lagos

The best restaurant and most consistent in quality food I have found in 5 years of visiting Lagos

Not bad but there is alot of homeless in that place
