No matter how you choose to spend your time there, you should definitely not miss a few places which are in my opinion real natural masterpieces.These wonderful places are: Praia do Camilo, Praia do Pinhao and Ponta da Piedade.

If you would like to enjoy their beauty entirely, you should make enough time and visit them one by one. In case you don’t have the time to do so, you should know that they are situated close to one another and you can explore them on the same day. You can get to these places by land or by sea but in my opinion the best way to visit them is by land, because this will give you the opportunity to also admire them from the top of the cliffs.

1. Praia do Pinhao is the first on your map if you come from downtown. This is a small and elegant beach where you will discover a natural and beautiful scenery: imposing orange cliffs, fine golden sand and clear greenish blue water. Praia do Pinhao is a real oasis of peace where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the daily world.

2. Praia do Camilo, another wonderful beach, is situated not very far from Praia do Pinhao. This is also a small beach with golden sand and crystal clear water. The high orange cliffs shaped in an asymmetric way which surround the beach, make it really special. This lovely scenery urges you to take a bath and relax in a pleasant atmosphere.

3. Ponta da Piedade is a marvelous place situated at the end of the coastline. This is a group of cliffs and rock formations shaped in a beautiful and natural way. A walk through the rock pillars, the sea arches, the natural tunnels and caves, will definitely recharge your batteries. The scenery is perfectly completed by an old lighthouse, called Farol da Ponta da Piedade.
I am sure you will not regret if you add these masterpieces on your trip list and it will be a lovely experience to visit them.

Situated in Lagos, Portugal, Praia do Camilo is a small golden sandy beach with crystal clear waters, surrounded by high orange cliffs. These imposing cliffs, shaped in an asymmetric way, seem to be a reliable guard for this priceless treasure. The color of the water is a harmonious combination between blue and green which together with the orange of the cliffs create a unique scenery.

You should spend an entire day on this fabulous beach because by doing so you will have the chance to experience how the tide slowly changes the landscape. This impressive natural phenomenon makes this place look different throughout the day and you have the feeling that the beach you see in the morning is different from the one you see in the evening. You cannot get bored on this beach because you can choose from a variety of activities such as: swimming, snorkeling, tanning or you can just admire the beauty of this fantastic place.

Camilo Beach is very close to the city and this is the reason why it is quite accessible. You can get to the beach by boat, by car or on foot. If you choose to get there by car or on foot, you should know that you will find yourself on top of the cliffs and you will have to descend about 200 wooden stairs in order to get to the beach.

The image seen from the top of the cliffs is spectacular because you will actually have the opportunity to admire the entire coastline. In my opinion Praia do Camilo is the perfect place to spend unforgettable moments. If you decide to visit this slice of heaven, you will definitely experience a great feeling of delight, inner peace and joy.
