Meia Praia Dunes

Wonderful beach, spoiled by dogs, which are not allowed. The authorities really should stop this. Dogs on beaches are disgusting

Long Beach with fine sand and clear water. Perfect if you like to walk along the sea. Easy to find a spot on the beach. I would recommend to avoid on windy days.

The half beach offers a very easy access, with 2 bars/restaurants (the Bahia is cheaper) and free parking (receive early). Long range of sand and close to the center, is not the most beautiful, but fun!

Beautiful beach, long and white soft sand. From October through April you are allowed to walk your dog off leash on the entire beach.

Wonderfully beautiful sandy beach, wide and long and clean. Here and there a little gastronomy but above all plenty of space for everyone.

For me, one of the best beaches in the world (and I’ve been to so many beaches). Superb sandy beach maybe 4km long. Fantastic. One of the only problems is that people take their dogs on the beach - there are signs at every entrance saying dogs not allowed. This is disgusting and should be clamped down on by the authorities.

There are no cliffs far and wide here. But that's not bad, because the good water compensates for many things. Very little seagrass. It can be windy here, but it doesn't have to be.

I would call this a ‘little gem’. Beautiful quiet beach with a small bar and Porta-Loo’s around the back. There’s a supermarket close by (who has such cute dogs!!!) with cheap drinks and some snacks. The lady who did the Thai Massages that day was fantastic. She really got into our knots with her elbows!

This is one of the best beaches in the world. A huge beach, not busy at all, with beach bars dotted along maybe every 300 metres. Very fine quality sand, cold water (it is the Atlantic!), very safe bathing with lots of lifeguards. A truly wonderful beach. The locals do try to spoil the beach, bringing their dogs along and allowing them to foul the beach. There are signs saying dogs not allowed at every entrance to the beach, and the authorities should rigidly enforce this.

We spent a few days in the Algarve and in Lagos we chose this sandy beach. In addition to being wide and very long (it seems to be alone on the beach) it is equipped with umbrellas and bars and restaurants (we tried one for a quick lunch). Obviously the water is a bit cold (we tried to take a quick bath). A day in total relaxation
