Meia Praia stretches for several kilometres east of Lagos, one of the longest sandy stretches on the western Algarve coast. Water quality is Excellent. Unlike the rocky cove beaches tucked between cliffs in the Lagos area, Meia Praia has scale and openness that allow it to absorb visitors without losing its beach character. From the sand you can see the city of Lagos and the mouth of the Bensafrim river. It offers a different scale from the rocky beaches of the Lagos coast — ideal for those seeking a long sandy beach, easy access and good water quality.
