Camilo Beach

Camilo Beach, near the busy seaside town of Lagos in the western Algarve, is one of the nicest beaches in southern Portugal. This beautiful area of sparkling white sand is accessible via a long wooden stairway that snakes down through a carpet of shrubby kermes oak and wrinkle-leaved rockrose, hemmed in by sandstone cliffs and strangely shaped rock formations.

It's simple to see why Praia do Camilo is so well-known for its breathtaking vistas! The beach is a little sandy beach with 200 wooden steps leading down to it, so make sure you're ready to climb back up after you've gone down! The beach is close south of Meia Praia, about a 25-minute walk or less than a 10-minute drive from Lagos. To find directions, click the link to the right. A restaurant with magnificent panoramic views is located on the cliffs above the beach. Praia do Camilo is a great place to go swimming because of its crystal blue waters. The bay is protected from the prevailing winds, making it a great place for kids to play. The sandstone rock formations along this length of beautiful shoreline are some of the greatest. As a result, this spot is ideal for capturing those perfect Instagram holiday photos.

For the more daring vacationers, the beach can also be visited via stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, or taking a boat ride. A lot of local activities, such as Sealife dolphin viewing Lagos, are also available nearby.
