Beach·Algarve
Praia de Dona Ana
Lagos' most photographed beach — golden cliffs, sea stacks, and a stack of small coves reached by wooden steps.
EssentialDon't miss it.
While undeniably iconic and visually stunning, this beach is best for early risers who can tolerate heavy crowds to appreciate its dramatic geological beauty.

Year-round for the scenery; summer for swimming in sheltered coves.
