Praia da Rocha is one of Algarve's must-see beaches with stunning limestone formations and a pristine stretch of golden sand coastline. A popular destination for visitors with its picturesque landscapes, it's also home to a scenic 17th-century fortress. Praia da Marinha is another top spot to lounge in the sun and take in the beauty of the Atlantic. Like something from a postcard, the turquoise beach stretches along the shoreline where breathtaking cliffs reach up towards the sky. It's a bit of a trek to get down to the beach itself, but the hike is worth the effort. In the town of Lagos, there's Ponta da Piedade, a collection of stunning rock formations along the coastline. The sparkling emerald waters and impressive size of the cliffs are not to be missed. A wooden path leads to the head of the beach, and boat tours take visitors up close and personal to these beautiful and mesmerizing formations. There's also a traditional lighthouse that dates back to the early 1900s.
