Things to do in Lagos, Algarve: The Best Nature & Wildlife Tours

September 6, 2021 Esmeralda Fenner

There is rich and beautiful history within Lagos’ 14th century walls, from its fortress to picturesque churches like Medieval São João Hermitage and the 17th-century São Sebastião. But that’s all appetizer. People come here for a main-course coastal buffet featuring more than a half-dozen beautiful beaches. Quiet sandy coves are sandwiched between dramatic cliffs. The sandy 2.5-mile stretch of Meia Praia caters to every water sport imaginable. And when you’ve had your fill, you can digest your day with some of the best nightlife in the Algarve region.

The West Coast Adventure Co.

Hey there, traveler! Since 2013, I have been crafting, refining, & sharing one-of-a-kind hiking adventures to the Algarve's wild West coast & historic End of the World, one small batch at a time. My approach is unconventional: I create hands-on, full-sensory outdoor experiences that blend movement, action, and discovery with space for wonder, reflection, education, and surprise, then I sprinkle it all with laughter, stories, music, food, and wine. I choose wilderness & remoteness over guidebook tourist destinations; intentional, mindful travel over superficial sightseeing; discovery & learning opportunities over photo opportunities; and rustic, physical experiences over easy, mass-market ones. My aim is simple & sincere: To share a travel experience that's not just fun, but meaningful; not just good for us, but good for the world; not just a social-media moment, but a memory for life.
