🌊 Coastal Wonders Await at Lagos’ Ponta da Piedade Trail 🌞
If you crave sun-drenched cliffs, sapphire waters, and outdoor adventure, the Ponta da Piedade hiking trail is your perfect Lagos escape! Start your journey at Praia dos Estudantes and head west - the wooden boardwalks make for an easy stroll, but for those jaw-dropping Nature-Vision moments, veer off and climb the rocky outcrops for panoramic shots of the sculpted coastline and hidden coves. 📸 Top photo angles: Cliff edges overlooking the sea, views through natural arches, and any dramatic canyon-like formations.
Look out for tiny secret beaches tucked between the cliffs - ideal spots for a sun-kissed break! About halfway, pause at O Camilo restaurant for a scenic lunch with epic ocean views (yes, it's worth the detour!).
Continue onward and take your time, since the open-all-day route is made for full-day explorations - just bring sunscreen, water, and sturdy shoes for those off-path moments. At the end of the trail, reward yourself with authentic Portuguese cuisine at either O Antonio or Campimar.
Insider tips: Boardwalks help you move quicker if you’re short on time, but best views require a bit of scrambling, so pack accordingly. The area is sunny and exposed; don’t forget sun protection! Rest stops are dotted along the route for those in need of shade.
