Highlights
  • Praia dos Estudantes - Praia dos Estudantes is a beach near the centre of Lagos. It is located right next to Praia da Batata. Praia dos Estudantes is known for its Roman style bridge right on the beach.

Praia dos Estudantes is a small beach. Literally, Praia dos Estudantes means Student Beach. Additionally this beach is sometimes also known as Praia da Formosa. The beach is surrounded by rock formations, which extend into the sea and shelter the beach from strong winds.

Praia dos Estudantes actually consists of two sides. The northern part is where you arrive on the beach. You can go to the southern part via a direct tunnel. On this part of the beach you can find the famous Roman style bridge.

The Roman style bridge connects two rock formations. This bridge is the most unique feature of Estudantes beach. It used to be part of the fortress of Pinhão, which doesn’t exist anymore. Nowadays, the bridge attracts plenty of photographers to Praia dos Estudantes.

A wonderful and informative sunset tour - This is a small company doing a small-size group tours with a personal touch. I did the sunset tour, there were 9 of us on the boat. The skipper/guide spoke several languages and pointed out interesting things along the way to Ponta da Piedade, completed with some history facts. He took us to several of the caves, which was a wonderful experience. All in all this was a lovely way to spend an early evening. I definitely recommend.

Memorable boat ride at sunset - A great experience with an awesome tour guide. Rui was very responsible and used many ways to inform us about the time change (text, call, email) very responsive when i called him to check the address. He ( the tour operator) was local and told us stories about each spot, super skilful in navigating the boat. The address was a bit tricky to find, i suggest to post an exact pin to the location on the listing.

Magnificent visit at sunset - Spectacular. Highly recommended. Boat with 11 people that allows you to attend the explanations and enter the caves. Very nice to be able to see the sunset from the boat. Totally recommended.

Beautiful Sunset Tour - Our family enjoyed the sunset tour. We saw a lot of sea caves and coastline. The tour guides were really kind and informative. They accommodated multiple languages during our tour and provided a smooth and safe ride. They paused to allow everyone to enjoy the sunset. Very peaceful moment.

Peaceful and beautiful - would definitely do it again - Rui and his co-pilot at Lagos Boat Tours took us on an amazing sunset tour of the caves and Ponta da Piedade. He was personable and informative and also left some quiet times for us to just appreciate the nature.

Great Coastline Trip - Highly experienced captain with an amazing tour of the coastline and caves. However the romantic sunset element was missing slightly hence the 4 stars.
