Praia Dona Ana | L a g o s | Portugal

Our arrival to the town of Lagos on the Western Algarve Coast commenced the do as little as possible /  beach - pool - shower - dinner - repeat / official relaxation portion of our Portugal trip!!

Yes I have a 4.5 and a 1.5 year old so perhaps my definition of relaxation is on a sliding scale. These boys love discovering a new beach to play on and explore though!! 

The Algarve is a long stretch of Atlantic Ocean coastline in Southern Portugal with many popular beach locations. We researched a bit about Faro, Alvor and Albufiera which all seemed lovely; there are stunning bronze shorelines that meet golden cliffs in abundance any which way you go about it. 

Deciding on Lagos came down to a feeling and finding an Airbnb @ IberLagos with excellent proximity to the splendid shores of Praia de Dona Ana. The pristine pools were a nice bonus! We opted for convenience over needing to see every beach in town / we avoided piling into the car and walked down to Dona Ana everyday. Restaurante Marisol tucked into the cliff side kept us all happy with to-go cocktails, popsicles and on one occasion a respite from the sandy shores with a fun family lunch!!

The boys were big fans of the kiddie pool and fountain at our Airbnb.

Praia de Dona Ana - sought out the most beautiful beach in Lagos, played there every day!
