Things to do in Lagos, Algarve: The Best Stand-Up Paddleboarding

November 11, 2021 Kiesha Cripe

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.

SUPinLagos

I'm the founder of SUPinLagos. I had this crazy idea of moving to Lagos and leave behind a stable job and life! Made this decision 6 years ago! Being a surfer, I always wanted to find a sport to complement surfing and having this beautiful coastline on my backyard it was inevitable! I got my certification as a Stand Up Paddle Instructor and that was how we started SUPinLagos. It's that experience and local knowledge acquired over the years that we happily put at the service of our customers!

I have lived in Portugal all my life, I have spent my summers in Lagos ever since I can remember, for all my life I was drawn to the sea, and that has always been my passion, I do have all the required licenses but most importantly I have the experience.  If you decide to set sail with us I can assure you it will feel like being in a friend's boat, enjoying the best that life has to offer.
