Ponta da Piedade, Lagos’ number 1 attraction, is a stunning section of coastline, consisting of caves, grottos and sea arches that nature has sculpted over thousands of years. Its 20 meter high cliffs, which shine golden in the afternoon sun, and fairytale caves are a must see. You can discover the area in small boats, or even better by kayak or SUP, so that you can venture into the caves. Or if you are a good swimmer, take a tour through the water!

You can also take a walk from town to Ponta da Piedade on boardwalks. The wide, stirdy boardwalks have recently been installed, making the cliff views safe and accessible for everyone.
From town, follow the walk to the lighthouse, Farol da Ponta da Piedade. Behind the lighthouse you find a stairway and some paths down into the bay of Ponta da Piedade.
If you can’t handle the steps, the view from above is also magnificent, and its a great place for watching the sunset.
The boardwalks continue to Porto de Mos beach, which is a great place finish with a nice treat, at one of the beach front restaurants.
