Most Google searches for things to do in Lagos will garner the same results: visit the beaches. Now don’t get me wrong, Lagos beaches are some of the most beautiful in Portugal (and in the world). Don’t just take my word for it; here’s proof that Condé Nast said it first.

To come to the Algarve and not visit any beaches would be doing this area a major disservice.

Portugal’s Algarve region is home to some of the most unique and beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. I recently checked out three stunning beaches in Lagos, one of the Algarve’s most popular towns.

Honestly, if you’re looking for breathtaking coastlines, panoramic views, and plenty of photo opportunities, then most any Lagos beach will deliver.

That said, there’s no such thing as the “perfect beach” for everyone, as it depends on individual taste.
