Highlights
  • Praia Dona Ana - You will get a sea perspective from one of the most popular beaches of Lagos. Don’t forget to make a photograph!

Praia Dona Ana is in the area known as Costa D ‘Oiro, name due to the yellow/golden color of the rocks that surround this beach and which is the largest among the several beaches of unique beauty, protected from the wind and calm and clear waters, located between the city port to the Ponta da Piedade lighthouse. The proximity of Lagos makes it popular in the summer. The rocks on the beach provide shade for visitors. The sea is calm and bathers usually swim to the base of the cliffs and sharp rocks that emerge from the water.

History:

The beach was named after the nun Ana, who lived in the nunnery of Lagos. During World War I, soldiers invaded the convent and murdered all the nuns, with the exception of D. Ana, who had access to a tunnel between the convent and the beach. D. Ana fled through the tunnel and was the only one who survived.

Son of a fisherman shares his beautiful coast! - We had the pleasure last week to be on a tour with Captain Rui and his assistant while we were visiting friends in the area. We learned so much about the beautiful coastline, and we enjoyed hearing it from his perspective as the son of a fisherman. He gave us plenty of time to take photos, (which were spectacular) and was patient and courteous with all. We will recommend him to everyone and will be back again!

Crystal clear water, awe inspiring - Our boat tour was a breath taking experience. Rui & Daniel treated us like family and showed around the “house”. The caves have room names. The water was beautiful, crystal clear. One hour was the perfect amount of time for this personalized trip. Highly recommend.

Spectacular Boat Tour - This boat trip was the highlight of our trip. Rui was a charming and informative tour guide who was adventurous enough the three twenty-something young men in the group, but reassuring enough for the three sixty year olds. We went into caves and through arches, passed beautiful beaches and a Roman bridge. It was spectacular.

Best tour ever! - Captain Pedro really impressed us! He showed us amazing places. His German is also pretty good. If you're planning a grotto tour in Lagos, be sure to look for Pedro from Lagos Boat Tours!
