Meia Praia

Meia Praia is Lagos’s longest beach, a sweeping 4 km arc of pale sand backed by low dunes and calm, clear water. Its breadth means plenty of space even in summer, appealing to families, walkers, and those seeking a relaxed atmosphere. Exposed to Atlantic breezes, it suits kitesurfing and windsurfing; several schools offer rentals and lessons. Access is easy via Lagos train station, boardwalks, and ample parking, with beach bars scattered along the shore. There are fewer dramatic cliffs than at nearby coves, but Meia Praia excels for open horizons, sunrise views, and uncomplicated, crowd-free beach days.
