Things to Do near Logos
In video 1, it recommends the below top 5 things to do near Logos:
- Praia Dona Ana Beach
- Boat Cruise
- Praia Do Pinhão
- Praia Do Camilo[1]
- Situated 2km (1.2mi) south of the town center, it’s accessed by a wooden staircase and a man-made tunnel through ochre limestone rocks.
- Visit during spring, when the cliffs are carpeted in brightly colored Mediterranean saltbush and saltwort, and sea birds such as great cormorants, herring gulls and black-headed gulls flock to the rocky ledges.
- Ponta Da Piedade[1]
- Just a 10-minute drive south of Lagos are the rust-colored limestone cliffs of the Ponta da Piedade (Piety Point), one of the Algarve’s most striking natural attractions.
- The craggy headland of caves, grottos, sea pillars and rock arches has been carved out by winter storms over the ages and is best explored by kayak.
- Head to one of a handful of cliff-top stores for gear rental and/or to book a place on a guided excursion. You can also walk the area via a series of boardwalks, descending to the coves on stone staircases.
