Boat trip is the best way to explore the very beautiful Atlantic coastline in Lagos - very beautiful caves and grottos reflected in transparent emerald water versus terracotta cliffs. Highly recommended as a trip - the guides are very friendly and happy to tell the story of the place

We drove to the summit of Foia to appreciate the views which were stunning. It was very windy there that day so I was a bit wary of going to near the edge.

Beautiful spot to see the yachts and supercars which line the Marina. Buzzing atmosphere especially at night.Plenty of cafes bars and restaurants to choose from most doing excellent seafood and local Portugese food.Nice place to walk right around with beaches at either end. Plenty of places to book on a boat trip to see Dolphins or the local sea caves or paragliding for the more adventurous. We found the area to be friendly to families with children too and we tended to eat earlier in the evening before it got too busy.

A long and beautiful beach flanked by spectacular cliffs, it sure makes for a great walk...at the end (or the beginning, depending on your starting point) there's also a viewpoint, accessible by wooden steps, simply amazing!

This is such an amazing zoo marine to visit..take your swimming things as theres a man made beach/pool area with sunloungers, theres a few rides to go on for adults&kids plenty of eating/drinking resturants, bit pricey tho so if you have a family of kids be wise to take a packed lunch, plenty to see&do watching the Dolphin shows(AMAZING) there’s sealion shows too (AMAZING) parrot shows& bird of prey shows worth every penny and you pay €29 each opens at 10am-5pm and u can pay €8.00 to come bk the next day, most hotels you stay in do trips there incl travel and alot cheaper well worth a visit for the day
9. Museu de Portimao

Reviewed By philsO1099NR
Set in a former sardine processing factory, the museum is divided into two areas. One half tells the history of Portimao from prehistory to modern times. The other half explains the processes involved in the sardine canning industry, using the actual equipment and location where it all happened. English captions throughout, and good use of video to make production stages clear. Also houses temporary display space, and good cafe/restaurant. Check out the joint ticket arrangements with other local historical sites, and note that there is free entrance on Sundays.
10. Ilha da Culatra

Reviewed By sjbarter - Northampton, United Kingdom
This is a wonderful day out. Park along the front by the market that is also worth visiting. Buy a return ticket to Farol on the island for just over 4 Euros. Get off at Culatra stop after a 30 minute attractive trip across the lagoon then walk through the village across the boardwalk to the beach. You can then walk through the surf for an hour on the beautiful beach towards the lighthouse where there is a chilled out beach bar called Maramais with great views over the beach. Here there are great drinks and snacks - the sandwiches are huge. You can hire sun beds if you wish. Then a ten minute walk down to the jetty and a lovely boat trip back. The 11am out to Culatra and the 4pm back from Farol runs all year. See timetable in photos.
